They were lovingly welcomed in the Triem Tay Garden by their comrades of the VCIL Community. About 40 people coming from various ecoversities and backgrounds met to put their own stories, experiences, and dreams into a conversation around re-imagining higher education. Opening the door to alternative settings for learning, such as river-versities, mountain-versities, grandmother universities, favela universities, jail universities, that is: Ecoversities, learning spaces that attend to the local and the ecological, in service to aliveness on Earth. *Learn more about this gathering in our website.* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2ugjKYZ01einZrNfLvJbJhb6ktpfgywG…> [image: Image item] <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uccgYWVvro46O5MBwxOOM0vPGv5cIAw…> *“It was clear at the onset that we were a group looking to come together in Love, and to create ritual, to share stories and to live a world that we believe in.” **- Vanessa Meng, Thailand/Taiwan* *"Our aspiration is to shift from mainstreaming to "many streaming." Like the tributaries that feed a river, we acknowledged the value of diverse perspectives and streams of thought. Instead of attempting to convert others to our viewpoints, we aimed to share and appreciate the richness of multiple perspectives, believing that a world with many streams is more beautiful" - **VCIL Community, Vietnam* *"Before coming to Vietnam, I admit it was difficult to explain what magic happens at an Ecoversities gathering. But being there with everyone, it exudes a spirit of warmth and love. The magic is felt so deeply and we at HIRAYA are honored to be embraced by everyone. I cannot wait what magic the 3rd Asia gathering would bring! Sending warmth and light from La Union.”* - *Eva Wang, Hiraya Collective for the Blind, Phillipines* *Save the Date!

It is a worlding exercise that seeks to reclaim knowledges, languages and sounds about the border beyond geopolitical boundaries and apparatuses of exclusion and control framed by the state. Initially based in Paignton, Devon, the project moved online after being dispersed by the UK asylum system, gathering briefly in London, visiting the radical social centre and archive, Infoshop 56A. Their primary tool for inquiry is the creation of “sound objects” around border words: one minute recordings that encode deeper meanings, tensions, rituals, situations, that are later untangled in a collective listening session that dismantles and talks about the border in its own terms. *Learn more about this interesting exploration here**.* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uWNuhChiznqacmI4WVM8aL1DrBrqL4H…> Ecoversities Pollination Learning Exchanges & Residencies *The Ecoversities Alliance supports residencies* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uEvREpD96T7MRT0S-Uk1jA2blUwh0_3…> between ecoversities around the world, as learning journeys for pollinating and exchanging cosmovisions, dreamings, practices that empower local communities. *The Ecoversities Residencies 2024 Program is now open!* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2u0BpZc6MohHkKDFwTAONE56nr_iwQgZ…> [image: Image item] <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2upcDM3IbetmDkhTSWL5bOytYlGi-MV4…> *“It is beautiful to see how this Alliance, this movement that creates this Ecoverse, has a force of its own. Independently of the parts that make it turn, it seems to have an atmosphere of its own. An atmosphere that when you get in, starts touching you, like a docile stream that follows down its course dancing around the rocks and bringing life to where it passes (..)”* Follow* Clara Luz (Instituto Etno)* as she reflects upon her role within the Ecoversities Pollination, Exchanges and Residencies Circle, as well as her pollination across the territories of Sierra Grande, Bahia Brazil, strengthening local networks with The Web of Peoples. *Read more in our website.* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uTFzGokPCMzvEhgpS0diyF-KEBx7mI9…> Dreaming Seedlings: Ecoversities Germinating Projects *The Ecoversities Germinator Service Circle* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uR7MxKHJSdHBuqaekR3YEwD4r4xxNAr…> nurtures young ecoversities while drawing wisdom and memory from elder members and collaborators.

Next March, during the International Day of the Forests, they are planning to plant 3000 trees. *'The need to change the current state of education where school textbooks fail to document and mention native trees and vegetables cannot be overstated. The Arboretum and Nursery project aims to reintroduce these trees through outdoor experiential pedagogy, providing students with hands on learning opportunities and promoting the value of preserving and protecting our natural heritage.'* - *Teza Ramos, Arboretum, Philippines. **Read more about this beautiful initiative.* <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2uLUW4W-4sFlAuzTaNzDowq3DJQG6Bei…> [image: Image item] <https://dvqhzz.fg35.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABlzy2u8YcdvUftXz0KzvD6_8mynBm3HI7jx-…> *Evolving Education* is an online platform democratizing educational practices that empower children and youth to take responsibility for their learning, their lives and co-creating a more beautiful world. It is an unlearning and trans-personal journey that has been recorded in about 150+ hours of interviews with leading educators around the globe. *“Last January we launched The Learning Expedition, a 3-month experiential learning training community where you can learn the practices of the most transformative learning centers on the planet. In this iteration, we have 38 agents of educational change, coming from 17 countries and 5 continents.
