Stan Reeves joins the podcast in this episode to look back at the Adult Learning project that ran for a number of years from 1979 in Gorgie-Dalry in west Edinburgh.

It very explicitly drew on the teachings and ideas of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire (1921-1997). In 1989 a book was written about the ALP and subsequently re-published several times. It can be accessed here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-94-6091-552-9
