<strong>Promotora</strong>s Teaching<br />

Approach<br />

• “Popular Education” is based largely on the ideas of<br />

Brazilian Paulo Freire (1921 ‐ 1997)<br />

• All people have a large store of knowledge as a<br />

result of their life experience<br />

• Education is interactive, participatory, <strong>and</strong> fun.<br />

• Action oriented<br />

• More appropriate to use the word “Capacitar” (to<br />

build capacity) instead of “Training”
