I finally finished reading the French version of “la pédagogie des opprimé·es” by FREIRE. The reading of FRANTZ FANON was a constant interference in the reading of Freire. The second interference was my being a teacher-students educator (what do I do to bring a liberation movement into my teaching action?)…

Why did I read Freire? I came to the end of my schooling a long time ago with my doctorate in 2013. Then I became an educator. What does Freire have to tell me today? Why didn’t I have the time and desire to read it before? Who should read Freire…

I started reading Freire’s second chapter. He speaks of “banking education”, where there is of deposit and reception of contents, which does not bring any form of creativity, transformation and change. I saw my nephew’s transaction from good boy to good student. I wonder if he has the right to be a…

I continue to read Freire — in parallel with another book on spirituality. Freire is more dangerous for the oppressed than the oppressor (a not so well used terminology in daily life).

Observe the first half-hour of the day. A valuable exercise in understanding who you are. Often in the morning, I wake up, and the first thing I do is think about the past. I stay in bed laughing at the expressions of colleagues and friends or family said the day…

I usually read on the subway when I go to and come back from work. Sitting in the subway reminds me that I have to open the reading application on my phone. These days I read a very strange book. It is called “the conference of the birds” Farid ud-din…

In the past, especially in adolescence, I read a lot but for some strange reasons, some renowned authors did not fall in my footsteps. Perhaps because they weren’t present in the town’s municipal library; perhaps because they evoked worlds too far away from me; perhaps because I was not yet in…
