Paolo Freire was een van de grootste verspreiders van educatie, en zijn invloed veroverde de wereld van Brazilie tot in de zogenaamde Derde Wereld maar ook tot in vele geindustrialiseerde landen. Hij stierf exact 10 jaar geleden - maar zijn gedachten leven voort in theorie en praktijk.
Paulo, Teacher
Today I heard you were leaving. I felt sad, partings are sad, But I also knew you were arriving, you were arriving with renewed strength among educators, among peasants, among village people, among the oppressed. You were arriving with the life that death gives to those who fight, because those who die in the arms of a grateful people as the Poet might say “The heaven opens, the world dilates and life begins at last with dying”. You sowed hope, we must tend it, we must feed it with sweat and dew, we must clear the weeds, so that may grow and flourish your warlike branches, your tree of dreams.
