Community Education

3 cr · Graduate

This course focuses on the relationship between education and social change in communities. Drawing on rich traditions of popular education and social movement learning, we will build competency in understanding the philosophies of different traditions of community education (with a focus on Latin American traditions of popular education), and we will build design and facilitation skills that support community education. In partnership with the offices of Community Engaged Learning and Student Experience and Development, we will participate in, design, and facilitate educational processes for community groups, and use the experiences of design and facilitation to improve our practice and deepen our understandings of the axiological and political commitments of community education.
