    The purpose of the study is to examine the potential of formative interventions to support the formation of transformative agency oriented to transformation of global structures into equity. The theoretical framework is composed of the construction the theory of cultural-historical activity theory in the case of the formation of transformative agency. In this study, local work activity is scrutinised as an expression of state of global structures from the point of view of the pedagogy of oppressed. The research is carried out as a literature review using pieces of scientific literature as data. The Data contains descriptions of the Change Laboratory Method, the “The Art of Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding” Method as well as the Cultural Circle Method. The result of the study is a hypothesis on the obstacles the formation of transformative agency faces in local work activities, that reflect the state of global structures, as well as an assessment of the possibilities offered by the Change Laboratory Method, “The Art of Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding” Method, and the Cultural Circle Method to support the formation of transformative agency oriented to transformation of global structures into equity. The research results suggest that the theory of cultural-historical activity theory and the pedagogy of oppressed are valid theoretical frameworks for reviewing the formation of transformative agency oriented to transformation of global structures into equity. Specifically, the Change Laboratory method seems promising to support the formation of transformative agency oriented to transformation of global structures into equity, in local work activities.
