Winner: Latin American Research in Education Collective for the Paulo Freire Conference
This event aimed to expand on the debate of popular education. The event brought together an extensive number of participants, volunteers, and thinkers. It was 100% student-led and aimed to be open and accessible to all, even outside of the University community.
This event prioritised community learning, teaching participants about someone they may not have been familiar with before, which was really important to demonstrate diverse thinking across their geographical region.
This event was well organised and thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended. To connect this many people virtually to share diverse experiences and thinking was why this is the Event of the Year.
