"Methodology of the Oppressed"

"Methodology of the Oppressed" refers to a framework for understanding and addressing social injustices, primarily developed by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. It emphasizes critical thinking and dialogue among marginalized groups to identify their own problems and solutions. Rather than imposing external solutions, this approach encourages people to analyze their realities, challenge oppressive structures, and take action for social change. The methodology prioritizes active participation, respect for individuals' knowledge, and the importance of education as a tool for liberation, aiming to empower the oppressed in their struggle for justice and equality.
