The Freirean Toolbox

The Freirean Toolbox refers to the educational and social approaches inspired by Paulo Freire, emphasizing dialogue, critical thinking, and empowerment. It encourages learners to actively question and analyze their realities rather than passively receive information. The toolbox includes practices like participatory learning, reflection, and conversation—tools designed to foster awareness and social change. Overall, it aims to transform education into a process that promotes understanding, agency, and collective action, especially among oppressed or marginalized groups.
