Dr Budd Hall, our UNESCO Co-Chair joined Marjorie Mayo of Goldsmith’s College and Jude Fransman of the Open University for a round table on ‘Knowledge, Democracy and Hope’ at the SCUTREA Adult Education Conference on “Life Long Learning and the Pedagogy of Hope” at the University of Sheffield July 17-19, 2018. The conference was inspired by the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Paulo Freire’s book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. The roundtable invited participants to share their experiences and reflections on ways in which new forms of participatory knowledge for social change are being created and used. The panel drew on their own experience in the Knowledge for Change (K4C) Global Consortium, Popular Education and political engagement in the UK and Civil Society and University research partnerships.
