Introduction: "Educación Popular" viewed from locally situated experiences
by Quito working group
“Educación Popular” was and still is a political and educational orientation, which has led to a huge number of reflections, and what is more important, which has given rise to many and heterogeneous practical experiences. The ideas of brasilian pedagogue Paulo Freire had a huge reception in many different contexts, changing the understanding of education as both a theoretic and practical, and a political concept. Starting from there, a great number of educational experiences revolved around the idea to turn education into a tool in the service of change and transformation of latin american societies.
