Dr. Donado Marcedo receiving the 2014 Paulo Freire Democratic Project Award for Social JusticeThe Paulo Freire Democratic Project awards are given to individuals and organizations that embody the life and legacy of Paulo Freire, to those who, in his eyes, "dare to teach." They honor both individuals and organizations characterized by intellectual excellence, ethical concern, and deep commitment to the creation, nurturing, and sustainability of fair and just communities regardless of location. "Teachers" herein is not restricted to those associated with formal educational institutions but rather refers to individuals described by Freire as "cultural workers," as "those who dare to teach" in whatever context they find themselves.
