Abstract
This paper reflects on a career through a personal narrative of how I, as an educator, together with my students, have tried to walk in the steps of Paolo Freire. My journey has been an international one, but this particular reflection highlights the development of a Project called TASC: Thinking Actively in a Social Context. The Project was developed in KwaZulu/Natal, literally meaning ‘the place of the Zulus’, an enforced ‘homeland’ under apartheid rule in South Africa. The case study highlights the resilience and determination of a group of students who were committed to rise above the denial and repression of opportunities for Black students. It is a story of love, joy and success — a pedagogy of hope.(1)(1)The first section of this paper is a summarised extract from A tribute to Paulo Freire. 2008. (Working title) (With permission)
