Learning communities become one of the powerful instruments in the effort to realise liberation education. They create a space of critical awareness, promote individual and group empowerment, social skills development and collective action that leads to social transformation. This research aims to reveal the learning process in learning communities and how to interpret it as Paulo Freire's educational approach based on the principles of liberation education. Although several studies have examined Paulo Freire's humanitarian principles, there are still few studies investigating the implementation and practical guidance on how to apply these concepts to the educational process in learning communities. This approach takes a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through systematic literature studies in the form of related books and journals. The stages are by determining keywords, setting criteria and analysis by utilising Google Scholar and Scopus. The results outline the process of liberation education in learning communities can be seen in the collaborative planning process, the implementation of education which emphasises dialogue and active participation, and reflective evaluation to identify achievements, challenges and opportunities for improvement. The form of response that emerges from the learning community shows positive things that are shown by changes in the mindset of the learning community. The challenges and obstacles of the liberation education approach in learning communities are also discussed at the end of the study.
