Will this group be open to young people from 18-25 as I know an organisation working with young people using Freirian approaches and some of them may be interested in attending but I don't want to flag it up to them before knowing if it is ok for them to attend?

Hi All,
For those of you who are around London...a friend and I are organising a little Pedagogy of the Oppressed reading group for the month of October (or so!).
Anyone who's interested in reading and chatting about it would be more than welcome to join us! See below for details.

**************************************
Would you like to join us for a short-term reading group of Paulo Freire's book Pedagogy of the Oppressed?
We have been meaning to read this book in its entirety for years and so decided to create a reading group for ourselves and others who would also like to read it. It will be a group run by and for anyone involved or interested in radical social change. It will also be a chance to discuss how the questions that come up apply to our world and different areas of work and organising.
We plan to meet once a week for 4 weeks (although we're flexible - if we need an extra week or two to finish or to work around people's schedules the group can decide on that when it arises). The book is made up of just 4 chapters, so we will read one chapter per week.
About the book: Here's an introductory blurb from published copy of the book
'Pedagogy of the Oppressed is one of the foundational texts in the field of critical pedagogy, which attempts to help students question and challenge domination, and the beliefs and practices that dominate. Every person, however "ignorant" or submerged in the "culture of silence," can look critically at his or her world through a process of dialogue with others, and can gradually come to perceive his personal and social reality, think about it, and take action in regard to it.' (back cover)
First meeting: Wednesday 8th October 7pm-9pm
NB. Please let us know if you would like to come but have a problem with making the dates or times
Venue for the first session: Royal Festival Hall in Waterloo, meeting near the main foyer bar next to the Clore Ballroom.
If you can't find us, our numbers are:
Open Group: All are welcome to join us, but we may suggest the group becomes a closed group at halfway point after the first couple of meetings or so, so we can better get to know each other develop discussion over time.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Laura and Tamsin
