The Freire Institute is an organization for transformative community-based learning. Its programmes promote participants' knowledge and life experience as the raw material for education. In turn, education is understood as a tool for individual and community empowerment and transformation. The Institute develops tools, approaches and training courses based on the work of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, whose work has inspired social movements and educational programmes around the world, including critical pedagogies and feminist pedagogies which draw on Freire's work.
