project 3c

Paulo Freire's ideas were replicated in other countries. Paulo Freire was able to take the discussion on several steps with his insistence that dialogue involves respect. It should not involve one person acting on another, but rather people working with each other. Paulo Freire traveled the world helping countries develop literacy reforms. And his book "Pedagogy in Process: The Letters to Guinea-Bissau", documents one of his most influential projects during this time.
Paulo Freire's desires to help others stem from the experiences he had in the depression. He knew poverty and hunger during the Great Depression, it was an experience that shaped his concern for the poor and his view on education. Freire had entered the University of Recife enrolling in the Faculty of Law, but he also studied philosophy and the psychology of language.
Paulo Freire's perspective on education and language has impacted many places around the world including Latin America.
