Fwd: [GTA] WEAVING ALTERNATIVES #18: A periodical of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives - focus on learning & education
by Ashish Kothari 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Friends, this latest output of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, focused on alternative learning/education, may be of interest. The editorial team is marked in case you want to contact directly. ashish Ashish Kothari Apt 5 Shree Datta Krupa 908 Deccan Gymkhana Pune 411004, India https://ashishkothari.in Dear friends, We’re sharing the18th edition of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives (GTA) Periodical, which brings together reflections on learning and education from across the Global Tapestry of Alternatives. Within GTA, we have long understood that weaving alternatives is itself a process of learning. Not learning as instruction or expertise, but learning as agency, presence, unlearning, and becoming. This issue grows out of that understanding and from the ongoing work of the Learning and Education Thematic Group. The contributions in this periodical come from weavers and endorsers who are thinking and practising education differently - through intergenerational exchange, popular pedagogy, feminist and emancipatory learning, learning with the more-than-human, and work that opens cracks within dominant education systems. Together, they ask what it might mean to reclaim learning as a practice of freedom rather than dependency, and education as a space for imagination and resistance rather than reproduction of the dominant system. We hope you will spend time with these pieces, share them within your networks, and carry the questions they raise into your own work and contexts. In solidarity, Madhuresh for the Global Tapestry of Alternatives ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: *Global Tapestry of Alternatives* <global-tapestry-alternatives-observers(a)lists.riseup.net> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 at 06:49 Subject: [GTA] WEAVING ALTERNATIVES #18: A periodical of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives To: GTA Observers <global-tapestry-alternatives-observers(a)lists.riseup.net> WEAVING ALTERNATIVES #18: A periodical of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives *LEARNING AND EDUCATION* *JANUARY 2026* /The contents of this periodical are also available online on this webpage <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:index>./ // <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:index> Dear Readers, We are delighted to share with you the 18th edition of theGTA <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-GTA> Periodical. In this edition, we turn attention to deliberations on learning and education drawing from the work of the Learning and Education Thematic Group. Within the GTA we seek to emphasize that the process of weaving radical alternatives is itself a process of learning and thus a central part of the work that is done by weavers and endorsers. In this edition of the periodical we offer a number of contributions from both weavers and endorsers sharing their work. The articles shared include both learning and education and as editors we recognise that these are not the same thing. We are reminded of the caution by one of our ancestral members of the GTA, Gustavo Esteva who noted that learning is about having the agency to follow your own path in freedom whilst education can create a dependency of someone. We recognise learning as a conscious and intentional act of being present, reconnecting, and becoming. It is a practice of resistance and imagination as people such as bell hooks, Ivan Illich, Paulo Freire, Jean Liedloff, Casilda Rodriganez and Maria Montessori have written. Learning within the context of alternatives therefore begins with recognizing that the word /alternative/ itself implies that there is a dominant system. The current dominant system is destructive, hegemonic, and deeply entrenched. Within the GTA, we see that mainstream, formal education is part of the dominant system. However we also recognise that there are opportunities within the cracks of this system where education with alternatives and alternative education is arising, to paraphrase Erik Olin Wright. It is in these interstitial spaces that many of the educators within the Learning and Education thematic group are working to challenge the system from within and foster radical alternatives that we weave as the GTA. This periodical first spotlights our weavers where we learn from *Crianza Mutua Mexico* how weaving spaces are learning spaces and how inter-generational exchange takes place. We also learn with *Angging Aban* about how learning and knowledge exchange and production takes place in the weaving processes ofMASSA <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-MASSA> and how it emerges in encounters. This is followed by a conversation with *Franco Augusto* who reflects on “A life beyond education” and the dangers and risks associated with mainstream education and the ways we can take responsibility for our own learning. These deliberations from Franco are complimented by an article distilling a webinar discussion by Local Futures, a GTA endorser. Written by *Thais Mantovani*, it offers collective reflections from the webinar on re-imaging education in times of transformation. These contributions encourage us to think how we disrupt mainstream education institutions and encourage radical alternatives in what we teach and learn and how we learn and teach. Building on this transformative pedagogy, the next two articles offer deliberations on emancipatory learning. Drawing on one of the radical pedagogies within the GTA, *Zozan Sima*’s article follows, sharing the experiences of women’s emancipatory pedagogic approaches of Jineolojî. The next article offers a conversation on the work of learning with the more-than-human as *Blake Lavia and Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo* share their learning processes listening when water speaks with Hannah Bickel. In the last part of this periodical, we turn to alternative education projects and learning and teaching of radical alternatives in mainstream education institutions. *Ana Inés Heras* shares her lived experience of working with tensions for dynamic learning and collaboration. This is followed by a collective reflection from members of *TheAlternatives <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-Alternatives>Project* on the need for alternative education. Finally, we conclude the contributions with a weaving process in popular pedagogy, the Next System Teach-In written by *Deissy Perilla*. We invite you to connect with the pieces shared in this periodical holding our vision of learning as a process that is intentional, relational, embodied, and grounded in justice. We also invite you to accompany us in imagining and building education as a tool for liberation, not reproduction of the dominant system. Learning is not merely about acquiring knowledge - it is about becoming able to live - and build - otherwise. *Guest editors:* Vasna Ramasar and Hannah Bickel. *Editorial team:* Madhuresh Kumar, Beatriz von Sanger and Franco Augusto. *Acknowledgement:* This periodical has come to life largely through the efforts of Hannah Bickel who has supported GTA in carrying out interviews with several of the contributors. Periodical Articles <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:cmmar…> Intergenerational wisdom: weaving sense-making and learnings in complex times *Alcar Zárate López, Belén Díaz Velasco and Itzel Farías* Alcar, Belén and Itzel each have their story to tell on how intergenerational wisdom is woven into their lives. As part of Crianza Mutua México (EN: Mutual Nuturing Mexico), they reflect on maintaining the relationships between ancestors, the living, and those yet to come. *Keep reading -> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:cmmar…>* <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:anngi…> Learning through struggle and solidarity: takeaways from the Movement for Alternatives and Solidarity in Southeast Asia (MASSA) *Ananeza (Angging) Aban in conversation with Hannah Bickel* Since its first conference in 2018, MASSA has brought together communities, activists, and scholars across Southeast Asia, documenting over 60 case studies and building connections across borders. Ananeza (Angging) Aban has witnessed these developments first hand. Her commitment to grassroots learning began over two decades ago and has since evolved into an interconnected web of activism, community-led causes and academia. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:anngi…>* <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:franco> A life beyond education *Franco Augusto in conversation with Hannah Bickel* Argentina, 2003, A fifteen-year-old and his friends are rallying against their school’s curriculum in an attempt to take their learning into their own hands. No one is listening. This very act plants the seed of a lifelong process in the boy’s life - a process which not only confronts his schooling, but the very idea of education in post-colonial Argentina. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:franco>* <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:thais> Educating for the world we need *Thais Mantovani* This following text was born from a collective process during the Feminine Futures webinar, hosted by Local Futures, an endorser of the GlobalTapestry <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-Tapestry>of Alternatives and inspired by Thais Mantovani’s presentation on regenerative education. Participants from around the world were invited to reflect, dream, and write together. The words below are a weaving of many contributions—personal insights, ancestral memory, lived experience, and radical hope. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:thais>* <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:zozan…> The women’s emancipatory pedagogical approach of Jineolojî *Zozan Sima* Topics such as ethics-aesthetics, free life in partnership, Xwebûn, the transformation of the male are the subjects that generate the most lively discussions and interest. In these courses, the most intimate issues, which are often referred to as private life, can be discussed and questioned without any anxiety. Education is a woman’s work in its current and historical dimension, and at the same time it is the most fundamental vital duty of society. We state this as women of a society that has deeply suffered the pain of states and sovereign men taking away this basic vital responsibility from us. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:zozan…>* ** <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:lavia…> When water speaks - listening to the stories beneath our feet *Blake Lavia, Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo in conversation with Hannah Bickel* What does Nature and their living inhabitants say when they speak? And more importantly, how can we listen when they do? Blake Lavia and Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo are amplifying nature’s voice and creating powerful narratives of resistance and hope. As part of the Talking Wings collective, they tell stories from the perspective of the more-than-human and its ecosystems. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:lavia…>* ** <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:anahe…> Weaving with difference: the importance of tension for learning and dynamic coalitions *Dr. Ana Inés Heras in conversation with Hannah Bickel* For Ana, tension is never an obstacle to be avoided. Instead, it offers material to be worked with. Whether through dynamic coalitions, participatory research, or local organizing, Ana Inés Heras is eager to build dynamic and democratic coalitions - whilst acknowledging that the journey to get there is far from easy. Hannah Bickel dialogued with Ana about her upbringing, her work and the contributions that her team make to several different social solidarity groups, mainly in Argentina, yet working also in coordination with people located in very different geographies. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:anahe…>* ** <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:tap> The need for alternative education *Frank Adamson, Rezan Benatar, Michael Gibbons, Mark Ginsburg, Steven Klees, Giuseppe Lipari, Carol Anne Spreen and Deepa Srikantaiah* The eight of us are members of The Alternatives Project (TAP), a diverse, transnational collective of progressive academics, union members, civil society activists, and social movement participants concerned with building a global collective critical voice focused on education and societal transformation. TAP envisions and works towards a foundational rethinking of education and society globally. Through TAP, we seek to support building a movement that offers a collective challenge to hegemonic ideas and policies on education and “development.” We use our research and writings, grassroots action, advocacy campaigns, and efforts to connect with those building alternatives. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:tap>* ** <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:teach…> Next System Teach-Ins as a practice of popular pedagogy: weaving worlds from North to South in the Americas *Deissy Perilla* In 1975, Brazilian educator Paulo Freire made a powerful statement that has endured for decades in the discourse of thousands of educators and change makers around the world. In his book Education for Critical Consciousness, he wrote: “Education for liberation involves the political organization of oppressed people to achieve power. Only then will there be the possibility of a new type of education that takes seriously the reality and potential of each member of society. This means thinking about the implications for those who educate and the changes—the revolutions—we need.” These ideas, which challenge conventional education and understand pedagogy as a popular practice—that is, something that belongs to ordinary citizens and the general public—have given rise to multiple experiences of popular education in different regions. *Keep reading-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:newsletter:18:teach…>* Updates from the GTA This section brings together short updates from different parts of the GTA: weavers, endorsers, and thematic and working groups. These notes offer a glimpse into the ongoing weaving across territories, conversations, initiatives, regional gatherings, and shared reflections happening across different nodes. Much of this work is quiet, grounded, and ongoing; from holding space in territories, to organising events, to thinking and acting together across regions. Some are just beginning new cycles of activity, others are deepening long-standing processes. We don’t try to capture everything here, but we hope these brief entries give a sense of how the tapestry continues to evolve. Where possible, we’ve added links for those who want to read more or connect further. As always, this space is open, if you’re part of the GTA and would like to share something in future editions, do reach out. As we present to you the update, we are reminded by what Million Belay <https://www.themintmagazine.com/an-innovative-way-to-innovate/>from the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa - one of our endorsers - recently said in an interview, food sovereignty - and by extension, the weaving of alternatives - is not about rejecting innovation, but about choosing its terms. It’s about grounding our work in ecology, cultural confidence, and collective control, rather than accepting market led dependency as progress and modernity. Agroecology is one such innovation, rooted in respect for land and people, improving soil, health, nutrition, and resilience in the face of climate shocks. AFSA’s work - building communities of practice, supporting agroecological livelihoods, and nurturing territorial and cross‑border markets - also shows how recent global crises have exposed the fragility of import‑dependent systems, and why grounded alternatives are not only possible, but necessary. This spirit runs through the tapestry and many of the updates you’ll read in this section are a reflection of that. They are not just reports of activity, but are experiments and initiatives building quiet refusals to the dominant systems, embodying everyday acts of imagination, innovation and steady efforts to reclaim futures on our own terms. New publication: Radical Democracy — recovering the roots of self-governance & autonomy In a time of deepening climate, economic, and political crises, the call for radical democracy and autonomy becomes ever more urgent. This new compilation, rooted in the work and spirit of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, brings together grounded stories of communities reclaiming power, practicing self-governance, and building solidarities across borders. Far from abstract theory, these narratives speak of lived resistance and transformation—from indigenous land reclamation to experiments in participatory decision-making and collective autonomy. The report reflects GTA’s core commitments: amplifying alternatives, nurturing horizontal learning, and weaving connections across struggles and geographies. Together, these stories challenge narrow definitions of democracy as state-bound or procedural, and instead invite us to reimagine it as a relational, morally grounded practice—embedded in land, culture, and care. This publication is both a reflection of the path we’ve travelled and an invitation to deepen the journey. It’s meant for all those within and beyond GTA who are working to shift systems and reclaim futures. *Access to Details <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/reports:rd:01>* GTA at COP30, Belém: defending alternatives in climate spaces In November 2025, the Global Tapestry of Alternatives joined grassroots networks and popular movements in Belém, Brazil, to bring critical perspectives and lived alternatives to the global climate debate. While official COP30 negotiations remained trapped in market solutions and technocratic fixes, GTA focused its energy on the People’s Summit and allied spaces — amplifying the voices of indigenous communities, environmental defenders, and radical movements resisting extractivism. Across forums like the Radical Democracy & Climate Justice session (co-organised with allies), the Rights of Nature Tribunal, and the Ecosocialist Encounter of Latin America and the Caribbean, GTA members spoke of autonomy, systemic change, and justice — not as policy slogans, but as practices rooted in lived resistance. A special online seminar also challenged the growing push for geoengineering, unpacking its risks and exposing the logic of capitalist continuity it serves. These spaces allowed GTA to reaffirm that the solutions to the climate crisis will not come from within the same system that created it. Instead, they are already being built in territories across the world — through solidarity economies, food sovereignty, community governance, and the defence of land, water, and life. Ashish Kothari reflected on this moment in his articleCOP30: When People Step In to Save the Planet <https://www.meer.com/en/101570-cop30-when-people-step-in-to-save-the-planet>— a reminder that the real work is happening outside the halls of power. *Access to Details <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/events:cop30>* GTA in-person assembly 2026 – Indonesia The next Global Tapestry of Alternatives In-Person Assembly will take place in April 2026 in Indonesia, under the theme: “From Many Worlds to Pluriversal Futures: Weaving Alternatives Across Territories.” Following the first in-person Assembly held in 2023 in Kenya, this gathering marks a significant moment for reflection, deepening connections, and imagining the next phase of collective work within GTA. Weavers <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-Weavers>, endorsers, and allies from across regions will come together for a week of exchange, dialogue, and celebration of alternatives. The Assembly will be co-hosted by Konfederasi Pergerakan Rakyat Indonesia (KPRI) and MASSA (Movement for Alternatives and Solidarity in Southeast Asia), in coordination with the GTA team and local partners. Together, they will form the local organising committee, helping ensure the event is grounded in the context and movements of the region. Updates from GTA Working & Thematic Groups This section highlights recent work fromGTA’s Working and Thematic Groups <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/assembly:groups:index>. These groups are open spaces — all Assembly members are welcome to participate. For details or to get involved, contact the group convenors or write to: contact(a)globaltapestryofalternatives.org *Working Groups* Within the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, Working Groups are spaces oriented towards concrete collective work. They focus on developing specific outputs such as shared tools, platforms, publications, or processes that support the weaving of alternatives across regions. These groups emerge from common needs identified within the network and are grounded in practical collaboration, experimentation, and shared learning. Thematic Groups Thematic Groups within the Global Tapestry of Alternatives are spaces for deeper reflection, dialogue, and collective sense-making around key systemic questions shaping alternatives to the dominant system. Rather than being driven by predefined outputs, these groups explore broader political, conceptual, and material themes over time. Through deliberation, research, and exchange, they help articulate shared understandings, imaginaries, and pathways, from which concrete initiatives and collaborations may also emerge. *We invite you to read the updates and reports from our Working and Thematic Groups for the period September–December 2025.* *Read the full report <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:wtgreport_18>* ** <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:weavers18> *Updates from our Weavers* The Global Tapestry of Alternatives is a “network of networks”. Each of those networks acts in different parts of the planet by identifying and connecting Alternatives. They are the Weavers. In the following section, our Weavers, the networks that currently weaves it, from India, South-East Asia, Colombia, and Mexico shares updates from their recent activities and actions. *Full Weavers’ report available here-> <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/newsletters:18:weavers18>* Crianza Mutua México Crianza Mutua México (CMM <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-CMM>) continues to nurture local-to-global connections through community-based learning, reflection, and creative expression. In recent months, CMM has carried out field visits across territories in southern Mexico, facilitating intergenerational dialogues, storytelling, and shared learning spaces with children, women, and community elders. The collective has been working to strengthen the visibility of grassroots alternatives through updates to its website and mapping tools. It has also contributed to international conversations on pluriversities, drawing from lived experiences of autonomy and community knowledge in Chiapas and Oaxaca. CMM recently supported a public gathering in Oaxaca to honour the legacy of Gustavo Esteva, including the launch of new publications and translations of his work into other languages. These ongoing efforts reflect CMM’s deep commitment to local knowledge, cultural resistance, and place-based solidarity. CMM members also participated in the GTA Virtual Assembly held on 11 December 2025. Simultaneously, other members are continuing fieldwork as part of the GTA’s Alternative Security Project. Internal communication within CMM remains active, with an ongoing commitment to exchanging knowledge and weaving connections — grounded in who we are and the work we carry forward. Vikalp Sangam (India) Vikalp Sangam continues to be a vibrant convergence of alternatives across India, with regional and thematic Sangams (confluences), and other events taking place throughout 2025. Highlights include an 'Alternative Credit and Economy' confluence, an online learning course on radical alternatives, the annual gathering of the General Assembly, and a planning meeting for launching a South Asia level process, with a large regional confluence proposed in 2026. It also continued its dialogue and exchange programme with MASSA as a Weaver <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-Weaver>, with one of its north-east Indian member organisations joining the MASSA annual gathering in Cambodia. Two new publications were released to support wider dialogue: a Vision 2100 for South AsiaBioregionalism <https://vikalpsangam.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bioregionalism-Report-F…>and a visually illustratedFramework on Alternatives <https://vikalpsangam.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Framework-Note-Illustra…>. Both documents reflect the growing richness and diversity of perspectives emerging from within the Sangam process, and are freely accessible online. Meanwhile, stories and perspectives on alternatives continue to be added to theVikalp Sangam website <http://www.vikalpsangam.org/>, now totalling nearly 2000 such pieces. MASSA – Movement for Alternatives and Solidarity in Southeast Asia MASSA hosted its 6th Regional Assembly in November 2025 in Siem Reap, Cambodia, a region where local communities are actively resisting extractive development and deepening regional collaboration. The gathering brought together members from across Southeast Asia to reflect on shared struggles, collective resistance, and regional alternatives. The Assembly focused on themes of peace, culture, and solidarity, and affirmed the importance of transboundary collaboration in a time of political and ecological uncertainty. The event served as a critical space to deepen alliances across movements and communities facing similar challenges in the region. A short report from the Assembly by Madhuresh,GTA member, titled,Weaving a Region of Hope: Alternative Regionalism in Southeast Asia <https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/weaving-a-region-of-hope-alternative…>. ** Updates from our Endorsers AnEndorser <https://globaltapestryofalternatives.org/:definitions#term-Endorser>is an organization, collective or thematic network that publicly expresses its support to the GTA process, and is aligned to its vision and values.Endorsersare invited by, or when self-invited, endorsed by, the Facilitation Team, and then approved by the Assembly.
