Abstract

AbstractThis article aims to build a frame of reference to reconsider the meaning of knowledge in line with collective value formation and to regain lost popular knowledge in comparison with paternalistic or scientific knowledge. Following a brief introduction of Japanese social education and a critical/creative review of Freire's concept of conscientization, a case study of a community‐based social enterprise and its learning practice in the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake is explored. The focus of the analysis is to clarify the restructuring process of knowledge construction through collective and dialogical community actions.
