Discover your Power to Change the World.
The current education system attempts, by mythicizing reality, to conceal certain facts which explain the way human beings exist in the world. Problem-posing educational method proposed by Paolo Freire sets itself the task of demythologizing. Teacher-to-student teaching resists dialogue; problem-posing education regards dialogue as indispensable to the act of cognition which unveils reality. Self-education empowers people to deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed
"Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire offers profound insights into the dynamics between the oppressor and the oppressed, advocating for a problem-posing approach to education that fosters critical consciousness and empowerment. In our own technologically advanced society, which to our detriment acts to program the individual—especially the disadvantaged—to a rigid conformity, a new underclass has been created, and it is everyone's responsibility to react thoughtfully and positively to the situation. This is the underlying message of Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
Pedagogy of Hope
"Pedagogy of Hope," a reflective sequel to Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," delves into the enduring relevance of his earlier work while offering a more personal insight into his educational philosophy. It reiterates the importance of hope in the struggle for social justice, exploring how hope, grounded in concrete action, can empower individuals and communities to challenge and transform oppressive structures. His belief in education as a tool for liberation, provides readers with a deeper understanding of the necessity of hope in fostering transformative change.
