Hopes and Worries in Learning to Grow Together: Key Praxiological Lessons for the Adult Educator
McCarthy, Finola; O'Brien, Stephen
Adult Learner: The Irish Journal of Adult and Community Education, p21-30 2020
This paper examines the experiences of one adult educator's engagement with Freire's praxis through teaching horticulture. The principal belief of the paper is that engaging in critical dialogue and reflexive action is an evolving journey of unlearning and hope for both learners and educators. The paper suggests that trusting in Freire's humanising education has implications beyond individual adult learners to encompass larger socio-ecological issues of our time.
