Philosophy and Methods Conscientization means breaking through prevailing mythologies to reach new levels of awareness - in particular, awareness of oppression, being an "object" of others’ will rather than a self-determining "subject.” Conscientization…differs from "consciousness raising" in that the latter may involve transmission of preselected knowledge. The process of conscientization involves identifying contradictions in experience through dialogue and becoming part of the process of changing the world.

- So beyond providing good quality services to a lot of people with little costs, what sort of larger impact does this have – beyond the self esteem of individuals? Grass roots advocacy
