Brazil Seminar
Civil society development and participatory communication in the new political context
Dialogues around the legacy of Paulo Freire
5 June 2019 - 6 June 2019 , 9am-8pm/9.30am-2pm
Loughborough University London
IMCI Event

Brazil has a strong legacy in the field of participatory communication and articulation of bottom-up development processes. Many innovative experiences and key conceptual foundations that have enriched and informed the field of participatory communication in Latin America and internationally have strong Brazilian roots. A reference of seminal importance to the field has been the adult educator Paulo Freire whose liberating pedagogy and principles of dialogic communication have influenced generations of educators, activists, movements and governments across the world. Today, the new government in Brazil has explicitly declared their intention to erase any trace of Freire’s pedagogy from any policy and practice in the country. It sparks the question: what is so dangerous about Freire’s ideas?
 
The objective of this seminar is to explore the Brazilian legacy and current practice of participatory communication in the contexts of the new political situation. Today, the space for civil society to speak and act is rapidly shrinking. Not only nostalgic discourses of law and order, but political nominations, national policies and many behaviours are reconnecting with the times of Brazil’s military dictatorship. Brazil is in many ways at a crossroads, and this seminar wishes to explore how the legacy and current practice of participatory and dialogic communication is managing, or not, to handle these challenges.

You have until Sunday 3 June 2019 to book your place.
