Learning is a process where knowledge is presented to us, then shaped through understanding, discussion and reflection.
Paulo Freire
Image
The teacher is no longer merely the-one-who-teaches, but one who is him/herself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach. They become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow.
Paulo Freire
Image
The oppressors do not favor promoting the community as a whole, but rather selected leaders.
Paulo Freire
