Colloquium: Forging Solidarity: Southern Perspectives of Popular Education
Second Notice
Colloquium: Forging Solidarity: Southern Perspectives of Popular Education
Date: 9th & 10th June 2016
Venue: Sustainability Institute - Lynedoch Road, Stellenbosch, 7603, South Africa
Animating this colloquium is a two-fold question: In what ways are popular educators in the ‘south’, and particularly in South Africa, responding to various, precarious economic, political, cultural and environmental conditions? And in so doing, are they planting seeds of hope for alternative futures that can connect individuals and communities locally and globally to achieve economic, ecological and social justice?
The colloquium forms part of a ‘catalytic research project’ of the National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (NiHSS) and University of Western Cape.
You are invited to join us at the colloquium which aims to spark debate about popular education, forging solidarity and southern perspectives - in the interests of deepening activist-scholarship and praxis.
