Point well taken.  I agree that "popular education" is a term that gets
used fairly loosely to describe a wide range of practices.  Given that the
organization I'm trying to help out is interested in exploring a wide range
of practices themselves, I would define popular education fairly broadly
(for these purposes) to include any adult literacy program that develops
curriculum and instruction around social, political, economic or cultural
issues that learners confront; that encourages learners to engage in
critical reflection about their social conditions; and that facilitate
learners taking action to change those social conditions that oppress them.
 Does this help?

Thanks,
Ira
