Popular Education and Effective Learning for Social Transformation

Learning Objective

This course equips educators, facilitators, and worker leaders with the knowledge and practical skills to design and deliver effective, participatory learning experiences rooted in popular education principles. It integrates approaches from effective learning design (such as clear learning objectives, active methods, and evaluation strategies) with popular education values that centre learners’ experiences, promote collective knowledge-building, and link learning to action for social transformation. Participants will engage in interactive, learner-centred activities and develop their own learning activity or training design that can be applied in their organisational or community context. The course is designed for flexible delivery as both a self-paced online course and a blended learning programme with facilitated sessions.
