Charlie Moreno-Romero

Originally from Colombia but residing in Estonia, I’m very interested and supportive of innovate educational practices that actively involve young people in their learning. My academic journey spans across disciplines; philology for my bachelor’s, anthropology for my master’s, and a doctorate in education (democratic education and education for social justice and inclusion). 

My research and practical expertise relates to democratic education, self-directed learning, language acquisition, media literacy, and fostering social justice through education. Within the realm of social sciences, my curiosity extends to culture, history, media analysis, leisure and identity dynamics, political anthropology, and ethnographic methodologies. I communicate freely in English, Italian and Spanish and possess a proficiency in Estonian and French as well. Currently, I serve as a council member for the European Democratic Education Community (www.eudec.org) and a founding member for the Right-Centric Education Network.

A decolonial pedagogy?

In this workshop, some basic approaches to decolonial theory will be introduced, followed y reflections by presenters and participants on why and how to practically implement them in learning environments that incorporate children’s rights and democratic principles.
