In this episode, Azril and Daniel return to the pedagogy and work of Paulo Freire, and how the concept of the Coffies with Paulo Freire started in Brazil and spread all the way to Uppsala and later Greece.  

Starting at around the 20-minute mark, we dive into the main part of the episode: a Freire quote improv dialogue game, which you can play yourself with the quotes here: https://www.freire.org/quotes-by-paulo-freire. There isn't an online version, so some printing and cutting is required :)

Recorded at CEMUS, Uppsala, September 25, 2025.
