This paper presents Dr. Budd Hall's reflection on his experience with Paulo Freire and the influence of Freire’s pedagogical ideas on adult education and social transformation. Hall’s engagement with Freire’s work began in 1970 while working at the University of Dar es Salaam, when Tanzania was developing a nationwide adult literacy campaign under President Nyerere. The paper highlights his commitment to social transformation through education, emphasizing the influence of Marxist and humanistic psychology. He created a discourse, a set of words and concepts that fit our world so well. ‘Banking education,' 'conscientization,' ‘problem-based education,' ‘thematic investigation,' and ‘codifications’ shaped educational thought and practice. The paper also traces a longer relationship with Freire through the International Council for Adult Education and various international gatherings over the following decades. The memoir concludes with an original poem, “Surf on Paulino,” written on the first anniversary of Freire’s death, celebrating his intellectual legacy, his warmth, and his place in the tradition of Brazilian mysticism.Item Mobilizing community and academic knowledge for transformative change: The story of the UNESCO Chair in community based research and social responsibility in higher education(UNESCO Chair, 2017) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
