Watch a part of Paulo Freire's last public interview, given to Literacy.org in 1996. Take notes of the points you consider important or meaningful to you. These words will be helpful for the forum later on.
Some of his words extracted from the interview:
On Tolerance
“The virtue of tolerance is an ethical, political and historical duty.”
On Critical Thinking
"There is a need for a proposition of a critical way of thinking, teaching and knowing to the teachers in order for them to work differenty with students."
On Language and Power
"Who says a certain way of speaking is the cultivated one? If there is a cultivated pattern, it is because there is one that is not!"
On Changing
“I was a curious boy and I am a curious old man.”
On his philosophical conviction
"We did not come to keep the world as it is. We came to the world in order to remake the world, we have to change reality!"
