Module 4: The Agents of Revolution
Saturday Dialogues: Political Education
Date & Time: Saturday, August 3, 1-3PM EST
Description:
“Today, education aims at the full realisation of man, without distinguishing race or origin, as a conscious and intelligent, useful, and progressive being, integrated into the world and his (geographic, economic, and social) environment, without any sort of submission.” – Amilcar Cabral, 1951
In this conversation, we will explore political education as Amílcar Cabral describes it: the tool that assists in the full realization of people as conscious, intelligent and capable beings and to reclaim ourselves as clear and politically active members of society and fortifying our minds. We will be joined by popular educators from Palestinian Youth Movement and the Union of Southern Service Workers (USSW) for a discussion on how political education, through the vehicle and force of organization, serves as a tool for mass political transformation, strengthening and preparing us for struggle.
Facilitators: Miriam Osman with the Palestinian Youth Movement, and Lindsey Jordan of the Union of Southern Service Workers (USSW)
