Impressions du PEER ASSIST

Le 11 octobre, par une matinée fraîche et ensoleillée, Gaston, Laurence et moi avons poussé la porte du Cercle des voyageurs. Tout le monde (ou presque) était déjà présent et l'odeur du thé à la menthe embaumait l'atmosphère. J'ai été accueillie chaleureusement par chacun d'entre eux et j'ai pu enfin mettre une image sur ces noms que je connaissait déjà. Un peu impressionnée dans mon coin par ces "grands" esprits, j'attendais en silence, un peu curieuse, ce qui allait se… Continue

Personal risk assessment in Guyana

For some time I had heard about the personal risk assessment exercise being facilitated with different groups in Guyana as part of the AIDS Competence Process (ACP), and I was curious to learn what it was like, how it was

facilitated, and how it fit in with the process. Fortunately I had an opportunity to observe it in action during my second visit to Guyana in late September.





It was during a SALT visit to the fire brigade near the lively Stabroek Market that I had the… Continue

Freedom

Freire wanted education to be 'liberating'. He was opposed to passive transmission of information and condoned oppression. For him, education is 'the practice of freedom'.

The excerpt below of the book Pratiques émancipatrices. Actualités de Paolo Freire is a reflexion on the meaning of the word 'freedom'.



For an education to be truly liberating, we must ask ourselves: what does "freedom" mean?…

The Use of Words

Networks explicitly inspired by Paolo Freire are concerned with the meaning of words, as similar words may be used very differently and have diverse meanings. The Constellation shares that concern.



For instance, when Marijo and her team constructed our website in Spanish, she did not translate the English website, but rethought our whole content in their own language.



To facilitate our collective learning on the… Continue

Citations de Freire

J’ai repris ci-dessous des citations de Freire qui me paraissent pertinentes pour la Constellation.



Devenir plus humains

«J'aime être un être humain, être une personne, précisément parce qu’il n’est pas encore certain, sans équivoque ou irrévocable que je suis ou serai «correct», que je vais témoigner de ce qui est authentique, que je suis ou serai être juste, que je vais respecter les autres, que je ne vais pas mentir et, ce faisant, diminuer la valeur des…

Paolo Freire (Français)

D’abord septique, je suis devenue fan. La pensée de Paolo Freire et celle de la Constellation sont très proches. Si proches, en fait, que la Constellation a probablement été influencée par Paolo Freire. La Constellation devrait contacter les personnes et les organisations de la ‘Liste des projets inspiré par Freire’ci-jointe. Cela serait mobilisateur pour tous.



Qui était Freire? Quelles étaient ses idées ? Quelles idées avons-nous en commun ? Comment et jusqu’à quel point ses…

Quotable Freire

The following are quotes which I think are relevant for the Constellation.



Becoming More Human

"I like being a human, being a person, precisely because it is not already given as certain, unequivocal, or irrevocable that I am or will be 'correct,' that I will bear witness to what is authentic, that I am or will be just, that I will respect others, that I will not lie and thereby diminish the value of others because of my envy or even anger of their questioning…
