It is 50 years since Paulo Freire’s book ‘Pedagogy of the Oppressed’ (1968) was published. His thorough deconstruction of oppression in a traditional pedagogy gave rise to a later book, ‘Pedagogy of Freedom’ (1996). In this book he writes that liberation is not a given gift, but a mutual process which is world-mediated in an attempt to make education fully human and where dialogics is the essence of education as the practice of freedom. In the field of education, where some governments demand an increasing emphasis on a defined curriculum and measured outcomes, retaining appropriate pedagogical approaches can be challenging. Our understanding and interpretation of pedagogy in action depends on our world view, our values and beliefs. It also depends on the professionalism of practitioners and the commitment to transformation of teacher educators. EECERA has been promoting democratic pedagogies where respect and participation is not a given gift, but a mutual process demanding daily transformation to create a relational day to day form of living. The characteristics of different pedagogies, their contexts and realisations, and their research, will be the theme of the EECERA conference this year.
