[Health_Education_Promotion] Save the Date: Popular Education Workshop Nov 2nd includes M/CHES contact hours

[Alissa Leavitt (Green)]

*Introduction to Popular Education*

*Hosted by the OPHA Health Promotion and Education Section*

*Presented by the Community Capacitation Center*



*Background:*

Popular education is a highly effective strategy for building knowledge and
skills, developing

leadership, and organizing for social justice. Most closely associated with
the adult literacy work of

Brazilian Paulo Freire, popular education is used around the world in many
fields. It is applicable to

all areas of educational practice. Popular education is based on the idea
that, no matter our

occupation and level of formal education, we all know a great deal as a
result of our life

experience. Therefore educators should start with what people already know
and build on it.



*In the Part I workshop, you will become familiar with:*

• The underlying philosophy of popular education and key popular education
methods, such as brainstorming, sociodramas (social skits), cooperative
learning, role plays, and dinámicas

(educational games)

• How to move through the cycle of praxis (from action to reflection to
action) in the course of a class

• How participants can apply what they are learning to their day-to-day work

• How this method can be used to teach any subject

• The history of popular education and how it grew out of the lived
experience of people working for social change.
