CUE
One challenge popular educators face is what to do when the participants are "wrong." We saw this is the visions of unionism activity, where there is a possibility that participants will prefer a corrupt model of unionism (on the idea "that at least the mob could stand up to the boss"). As an educator, your task is to help people clarify their ideas, debate them, test them, but ultimately to facilitate a process in which they choose what to think, what to do, where to go. You don't have to agree. You don't have to go there with them. But it is important to avoid the temptation to try to use education to force or manipulate people into saying what you want to hear. This is a principle of democratic education.
What happens when you step out of the role of educator and become an observer, or an advisor, or even a co-participant? Provided the transition is clear and understood by all involved, your new role opens up a new possibility, that of intervention.
