VON KOTZE, Astrid. Ecological Solidarity and Popular Education. Sisyphus [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.3, pp.85-99. Epub 29-Nov-2021. ISSN 2182-8474. https://doi.org/10.25749/sis.19952.
This text begins with the assertion that we need to listen to nature and recognise the interconnectedness of all beings and living. I outline three principles central to a Freirean approach in popular education: political purpose and bias of the educator; dialogue as an epistemological and ontological process; and the ‘vocation’ of humanization. Using an eco-feminist lens, I then suggest that ecological solidarity: being part of, rather than apart-from, nature, must be a crucial part of any education going forward. This leads me to take the notion of emancipation away from individual, personal freedom towards a practical embracing of interdependence and interrelatedness as inscribed in the original meaning of ‘ubuntu’.
