Dialogic Tertulia with Álvaro Pantoja Leite
In February we will have another Dialogic Tertulia, hosted by Álvaro Pantoja Leite. The purpose of the meeting will be to hold a dialogue on circularities and interculturalities in education/training, based on the Freirean (re)invention of Culture Circles.
‘Education is communication, it is dialogue, insofar as it is not the transfer of knowledge, but a meeting of interlocutors who seek meaning and significance.’
(Paulo Freire, in Extension or Communication?, 1969)
