Freirean Literacy

Freirean literacy is an approach to education developed by Paulo Freire that emphasizes critical thinking and active participation. It encourages learners to see reading and writing not just as technical skills but as tools to understand and challenge social realities. Instead of rote memorization, students connect language to their experiences, fostering awareness of societal issues and empowering them to initiate change. This approach promotes dialogue, collaboration, and consciousness, aiming to transform learners from passive recipients of knowledge into active agents of their own learning and social transformation.
