15th Annual International Congress
The International Institute for Critical Pedagogy and Transformative Leadership Congress
Reggio Emilia, Italy
October 13–17th, 2025
As our mandate is to visit Southern countries and to spend our money in non-corporate environments, we have an amazing week ahead of us. Please join us for this unique experience, and as always, consider bringing your family.
Congress is sponsored by freireproject.org and hosted by the University of Modena.
Congress is dedicated to the lives, loves, and works of Paulo Freire, Jesus “Pato” Gomez, and Joe L. Kincheloe.
