Building Community Education Programmes: A Participatory Approach
Building Community Education Programmes: A Participatory Approach
This Learning Guide is a resource for community educators, community workers and activists working in a variety of areas, such as food and hunger, energy, healthcare, alternative economic systems, etc. It is a combination of theory and practice and is made up of three parts, namely: What is community education? Community development as critical pedagogy and Community education from the ground-up.
This resource is based on the knowledge constructed with communities and shares with adult and community educators an approach from which we hope they could learn. The resource is not a textbook or blueprint for building community education programmes. It should be used to support learning & teaching and doing. It has been prepared to challenge and encourage adult educators in their vocation and as intellectuals interested in enhancing transformative pedagogical practices toward a transformed and just society.
