My email is kelly@worldsavvy.org - thanks for letting me know about your ning and the BRIC project - sounds interesting. In addition, World Savvy has an academic program for youth in Minneapolis-St. Paul that might be of interest to you, and a good supplement to this project. See more here on our website: http://worldsavvy.org/minneapolis/
Best,
Kelly

- Hi Suhimita,
I teach Freire's theory in a very interactive way to my college and high school students through movies and the theatre of the oppressed. I have adapted it to suit the 12-21 age group and use it extensively in my residential peace camps which we do internationally. Have a look at our website www.multiculturalvillage.org and see how we use experiential learning, service learning and dialogue for freedom from oppression.
Let me know how I may help.
