REPORT OF CONSCIENTIZATION PROGRAMME

Introduction

The concept of conscientization is the process of developing a critical awareness of one’s social reality through reflection and action. The concept conscientization is linked with the work of Paulo Freire and especially his pedagogy of the oppressed. The definition given by Paulo Freire in his cultural action for freedom is that “conscientization refers to the process in which men are not mere recipients, but as knowing subjects achieve a depending awareness both of the social cultural reality which shapes their lives and their capacity to transform that realty. Conscentization means to give conscious awareness to people, on certain issues that need urgent improvement”. The objective of conscientization is to power the knowledge by facilitating a learning   process that would develop critical consciousness. It also aims at developing a critical awareness to that individual can take action against the oppressive element.
