Change and Social Policy Development
Paulo Freire (1921-1997) Is a Brazilian Educator Whose Primary Advocacy Is Critical Pedagogy that Empowers Learners to Be Active Change Agents. His Philosophies Resonate in Today’s World Where Children Are Able to Draw Learning from Multiple Sources, Albeit Unfiltered and Unchecked; Thus, It Is the Role of Educators and Facilitators to Shepherd and Nurture Such an Influx of Information.

Critical Thinking and Analysis Are Skills that Students Learn; They Not only Learn the Science Behind Climate Change, but Understand how To Manage Its Implications on Developing Relevant Social Policy.
