PAULO FREIRE

“Nobody liberates anybody, nobody is liberated only”

He was born in Recife, Brazil. He was son of a family of middle class down. He studied in the university, Law and Psychology at the same time. But he did not practice as lawyer, but it gave Portuguese classes in the secondary. It worked principally with the poor people that they could neither read nor write.

With his beginning of the dialog, he taught a new way for the relation between teachers and pupils. His ideas influenced and they influence the democratic processes all over the world. He was the pedagogue of the oppressed and in his work it transmitted the Pedagogy of the Hope.

His Work:

Freire's pedagogy says that the persons learn across daily situations, where his own experience contributes the generation of situations of learning. There is thought over and analyzes the world in which it is lived, not to adapt but to transform it.

The method is to see the words and to think over them critically, for it do conscience of the reality and to propose to fight for his emancipation. The reflection is generating conscience of fight for transforming the reality and to be liberated of the oppression.

I like very much Paulo Freire's work because he listens to who before nobody listened, he was interested for the forgotten ones and I believe that this labor opens the eyes for the world.
