Our projects

The Paulo Freire Initiative supports and promotes research and projects developed by current and former students at Columbia University who share a commitment to critical, emancipatory, and socially engaged education. This space brings together initiatives that explore innovative pedagogical practices, social justice, diversity, and educational transformation.

Annual Conference

Every year, the Paulo Freire Initiative organizes a conference to discuss Paulo Freire at Columbia University.

Mind Map

The mind map of educational content originated from the Initiative's Instagram account. The idea is to provide a tool for research and visualization about education and how the subjects relate to each other.

Seminars

The seminars are free meetings in which an expert establishes a dialogue between their research and Paulo Freire.
