Educational Praxis is a grassroots non-profit organization consisting of teachers, musicians, health workers, community members and students. Our goal is to use education as the force to connect people from distinct backgrounds together in a setting to exchange local and global knowledge and skills. All Praxis members draw on their experience and work on a volunteer basis to accomplish this goal.

Praxis, an educational concept developed by Paulo Freire, is the moment when theory and practice – reflection and action – fuse. Educational Praxis provides the leaning experiences in which knowledge can be translated into action.

Educational Praxis believes there is a vital need for broader and deeper knowledge of issues involving world cultures and people. In a time of globalization, there are few people-to people encounter where new ways of human interaction emerge. Praxis works to change this by forging new people-to people links, and by promoting critical thinking and creative action.

Mission Statement

The mission of Educational Praxis is to bring people of diverse communities together through direct educational activities to develop solidarity among learning-teaching centers around the world.  Praxis’s educational activities promote critical reflection, economic equity and security, ecological consciousness, cultural grounding and creative action for the purpose of addressing schisms of class race, caste and gender.
