ABSTRACT
I came to Freirian Popular Education in my early years as a militant political activist dedicated to the revolutionary project of transforming the society of Bolivia. Popular education was then seen as necessary in order to create peasant revolutionary cadres. In this sense, Popular Education was a tool to be used to create the conditions necessary for revolutionary change, just like the newspaper as well as propaganda for the work of agitation and organization had been for Lenin. This is why we adopted Popular Education; not just because the majority of its theoreticians understood it as political education.
