I'm also very interested in the theories and practices of teaching for social change. A Popular Education Center for Democratic Social Change. It's located in South Minneapolis. It is based on the theories of Paulo Freire , one of the most important educators of the 20th century. It also draws on theories of popular education .
Popular education is political education for everyday people.
It encourages people to look closely at our lives in an effort to end injustice and inequality. This involves understanding who we are in the world, what visions we have for justice, and how to develop strategies to make social change.
