  8. Popular Education: Popular Education is about putting information and experiences in context through dialogue for action Information in context is knowledge , our experiences in dialogue produce collective knowledge that leads to collective action In order to have hope we need not only a vision of a better future but also a collective memory of endurance and past victories Pancho Argüelles/Colectivo Flatlander/CCHE – Maria Jiménez/UT School of Public Health – CCPH 2012

  9. Walking through suffering and hope The historical process of our communities resisting oppression and fighting for liberation is based not just on knowledge and information but on a wisdom that comes from the human experience of walking through suffering and hope Pancho Argüelles/Colectivo Flatlander/CCHE – Maria Jiménez/UT School of Public Health – CCPH 2012

  10. Community Engagement requires a commitment to listen and honor the stories (information, knowledge and wisdom) from the people in the communities we are working with. A better understanding of the social determinants of community engagement in a particular context opens the door for genuine collaboration Pancho Argüelles/Colectivo Flatlander/CCHE – Maria Jiménez/UT School of Public Health – CCPH 2012

  13. Our hope is based upon our collective memory… To be effective in our work wee need to find ways for us to connect to our deeper sources of personal and collective power Paradoxically, it is not just about “educating” the uneducated or engaging the disengaged; it is more about accompanying a process of collective transformation, “concientización” and organizing Pancho Argüelles/Colectivo Flatlander/CCHE – Maria Jiménez/UT School of Public Health – CCPH 2012
