Abstract	Written from the perspective of the Central American experience of education for fundamental social change, this booklet provides ideas and guidelines for developing popular education, a learning process based on the concept that education can serve the interests of the poor and that the people themselves can define the content and context of their education programs. Following an introduction and glossary for popular educators, a section entitled "The Fabric of Our Lives" examines the historical development of popular education in both Canada and Central America and introduces the reader to the work of the Alforja network of popular education centers. The bulk of the book is the section entitled "Some New Designs." The adaptation of four new ideas or designs from the Central American experience for use in Canada is described, including sample workshops, tools for program evaluation and analysis, and creative program designs. The final section, "Making Connections," focuses on networking among popular educators. The appendix provides further information about the kinds of activities organized by the member centers of the Alforja network. A bibliography lists additional resources. Numerous balck and white photographs, cartoons and other graphics illustrate the booklet. (KC)
