At the opening of my presentation at McGill’s EGSS conference last year, I quoted Freire’s Pedagogy of Hope:   

“Within an understanding of history as possibility, tomorrow is problematic. In order for it to come, it is necessary that we build it through transforming today. Different tomorrows are possible. The struggle is no longer reduced to either delaying what is to come or ensuring its arrival; it is necessary to reinvent the future. Education is indispensable for this reinvention”. (Freire, 1997)
