A discussion of social movements and bilingual education in Mexico by Jorge Torres

Jorge Torres is the director of CETLALIC, a Paulo Freire- and Ivan Illich-inspired language school for progressives and change agents in Cuernavaca. With resident teacher-activists, home stays, cultural events and an international community of fellow students, the school is designed to ground your language instruction in your own cultural bridge-building and consciousness-raising. Jorge brings an informed -- and sometimes first-hand -- perspective on social movements in Mexico, and he will share both this content and teaching method through tonight's charla.
