RE: [xmca] FW: PTO Conference Call for Proposals

Just an FYI... this will likely be Augusto's last time participating in
the workshops himself. I was able to participate in one of the workshops
last year and his energy is amazing. Both he and Julian engaged us
deeply, yet care - fully. The work is empowering. If you have the
opportunity, the conference itself is well worth going to... the range
of participants... high school students, academics, teachers, artists,
therapists, etc... makes for interesting engagements.
By the way, Boal has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Subject: [xmca] FW: PTO Conference Call for Proposals

The 14th Annual Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed Conference returns
to
Omaha, May 22 - 25th, 2008. Augusto Boal will conduct two 3-day
workshops
(1 prior to the conference, 1 after the conference) plus a 1-day
introduction to TO.

Featured guests:
Augusto Boal
Julian Boal
Sonia Nieto
Donaldo Macedo

PTO is based on the liberatory pedagogy of Paulo Freire and the
liberatory
theatre of Augusto Boal. The work of many NRC folks connects to their
philosophies and practices.

You are encouraged to submit a proposal - deadline is January 11, 2008.

Go to http://www.ptoweb.org for more information. Please forward to
interested colleagues and students.
