Summary/Abstract: The following article is an introduction of Deviszont Community Space, which is a critical pedagogy project aimed at working-class youth attending vocational schools. Our aim is to learn critical thinking, community-based thinking and social action together, from each other – we believe that to reach systemic change in society, you need education; and the aim of education is to foster social change. The article illustrates the Hungarian educational system via quotes from the youths of Deviszont; demonstrates the methodology of critical pedagogy, using examples from our activities to show how to use them in practice; and presents an actual activity plan. Also, we describe in a step-by-step methodological guide what we have needed to do in order to create our community space. In our opinion, there is nothing to wait for: institutions need to be established, places where people who are able to question the existing social system and power structures can grow up. It is time for education to be as important a topic in social discourse, as it is in the shaping of society.
