How can lifelong learning help to empower communities?

Paulo Freire ‘Education either functions as an instrument to facilitate... integration &... conformity... or it becomes “the practice of freedom”, the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world’ Gramsci, Freire, and Adult Education: Possibilities for Transformative Action, by Peter Mayo, Macmillan, 1999

Learning is pivotal to successful social policy because it: - holds policy together is a means of empowerment is an active building block of civil society is needed in order to build capacity and aid active citizenship Matthew Scott, Director, Community Sector Coalition
