The Popular Education training facilitator has a key role in the popular education process. Instead of the banking learning of the typical lecture approaches the popular education process relies on the facilitator to engage participants in the agenda setting and learning process. While the facilitator has the power to direct training s/he must share this power with the participants in order for popular education to be effective. In this presentation the facilitator will discuss the role of power sharing in popular education by describing examples of this balance from curricula and courses presented for and with workers in the areas of workplace health and safety skill development and violence prevention. The goal will be for participants to analyze these training experiences to develop consensus measures reflecting successful power sharing outcomes. Effective examples of this balance will be documented and shared.
