Fwd: [GTA] WEAVING ALTERNATIVES #18: A periodical of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives - focus on learning & education

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 very brief text on the pluriverse (in Spanish)
by Jorge Garcia-Arias (Ule) 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

(in English, below) Queridxs compas, Os adjunto un breve texto MUY introductorio sobre Pluriverso que acabamos de publicar, en español, en un libro de Economía inclusiva <https://www.catarata.org/libro/economia-inclusiva_168668/>. El libro supone un esfuerzo colectivo de agrupar a decenas de académicos (en su mayoría economistas) españoles para ofrecer una mirada alternativa sobre la economía. Y nos alegra que el concepto del pluriverso haya ganado la suficiente relevancia como para poder figurar en él. Nuestro texto es muy introductorio y tiene escasa o nula utilidad para aquellos que ya hayáis trabajado sobre estas cuestiones previamente. Su importancia, para nosotros, es doble: 1) Reivindicar la necesidad de que esta cuestión forme parte de cualquier visión alternativa crítica o heterodoxa de la economía. 2) Utilizarlo como texto básico y muy breve sobre la cuestión para nuestras clases de grado (en español) en la universidad. En este sentido, nuestra experiencia con el texto durante este curso ha sido muy positiva. Confiamos en que pueda ser también de utilidad para algunos de ustedes. Gracias y un abrazo. En solidaridad, Jorge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear compas, I am attaching a brief, VERY introductory text on Pluriverse that we have just published, in Spanish, in a book on inclusive economics <https://www.catarata.org/libro/economia-inclusiva_168668/>. The book is a collective effort by dozens of Spanish academics (mostly economists) to offer an alternative view of Economics. We are delighted that the concept of the pluriverse has gained enough relevance to be included in it. Our text is very introductory and of little or no use to those of you who have already worked on these issues previously. Its importance, for us, is twofold: 1) To assert the need for this topic to be part of any critical or heterodox alternative view of economics. 2) To use it as a basic and very brief text on the topic for our BA lectures (in Spanish) at the university. In this sense, our experience of this course with the text has been very positive. We trust that it may also be useful to some of you. Thank you, and kind regards. In solidarity, Jorge ------------------------------------ Jorge Garcia-Arias, PhD Full Professor, International Political Economy & Global Development Studies University of Leon (Spain) email: jrgara(a)unileon.es web: https://jorgegarciaarias.unileon.es Co-Editor The European Journal of Development Research <https://link.springer.com/journal/41287> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: Honoring our Ecoversities Alliance Ancestors
by Albert Stephen Salazar Corrales 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Honoring our Ecoversities Alliance Ancestors Aloha friends Join us to honor the Ecoversities Alliance Ancestors - 1st November, (6am Hawai'i, 9am PDT, 10am Mexico, 12noon EST, 5pm GMT, 6pm ECT, 9:30pm India, 11pm Thailand), 90min Join Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86725526782?pwd=GzDMAx3ORuYKIAWbwDR5iSilXzNAqM.1 The Ecoversities Alliance is 10 years old this year (August 2025). The roots of the Alliance were entangled through relationships built during the Enlivened Learning project (2012-2013). These relationships supported the manifestation of the first gathering at Tamera Ecovillage in southern Portugal with 50+ kindred folks from many parts of the world experimenting in the field of higher education. The Ecoversities Alliance has flourished into a thriving international and multi-regional knowledge movement and community of practice. Along the way a number of folks who came (or almost came) to that initial meeting were part of initial conversations with the co-founders of Ecoversities. They all emphasized the importance of building inter-regional and trans-local alliances to transform our education systems. Sadly several of these folks have passed and are now our ancestors. In this 10 year anniversary we want to make space to honor the life and work of these Ecoversities Ancestors and introduce their contributions to a new generation of Ecoversitarians. Please join us on the 1st of November, a time of honoring the ancestors in many parts of the world, to celebrate the life of these friends and ancestors of the Ecoversities Alliance. Session facilitated by Udi Mandel, Kelly Teamey and sierra ying allen, Spanish Translation available. Some of people being honored on this day and those who will be speaking about them are: Narcisse Blood (Blackfoot elder and co-founder of the Kainai Studies programme at Red Crow Community College) - speaker Ryan First Diver (Narcisse’s friend, student and colleague at the Kainai Studies programme, Beaver Bundle keeper, snake-wrangler). Liora Adler (Gaia U International) - speaker Andrew Langford (Liora’s husband and Gaia U co-founder, permaculturist innovator and educator). Gustavo Esteva (co-founder of Unitierra, Mexico, de-professionalized intellectual, writer) - speaker Yeyo Beltran (Gustavo’s friend, colleague, co-founder of Unitierra and Herramientas para el buen vivir). Pracha Hutanuwatr (co-founder of the International Network of Engaged Buddhists; Spirit in Education Movement; and Ecovillage Transition Asia) - speaker Petra Carman (Pracha’s student, colleague, and facilitator, co-founder of Karuna Society). There will be space during the call to share practices of remembrance and spontaneous tributes to any of the other beautiful souls who have become fertile soil from which the Alliance grows.

Ecuador in Resistance — 23 Days in the Streets / Ecuador en resistencia — 23 días en las calles
by Andrea González Andino 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

ESP- ABAJO [image: image.png] Foto de: Pachay https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1215409317280223&set=a.545501757604319 Ecuador in Resistance — 23 Days in the Streets Ecuador has been in a national strike for 23 days. It all began after President Daniel Noboa announced an increase in diesel prices. Since then, hundreds of people have taken to the streets, to the plazas, to their territories — to protest a subsidy cut that affects us all. The strike was called by CONAIE (the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador), and what began as a legitimate demand has become a collective cry. I have gone out to protest. I have seen mothers, children, and elders. I have felt the strength of the people from the countryside — Indigenous peoples, those impoverished by a system that seeks to crush them — yet when a collective call for dignity is heard, they rise up and put their bodies on the line to defend Sumak Kawsay, the right to live well. Every protest has been met with repression: police and military attack without distinction. >From the government’s official discourse — or that of its spokesperson — they insist on calling those who protest terrorists. They repress us even while disguised as “humanitarian aid”: entering cities like Otavalo, where the “help” they bring is tear gas, beatings, fear, arrests, and bullets. The Noboa government believes it can disguise its repression as “security measures,” deploying tanks, police, and soldiers. It believes it can imprison people and then accuse them of terrorism to criminalize social protest. But no threat can silence a movement whose resistance is legitimate. Protesting is not terrorism — it is the exercise of a deep, historical right, woven by the Indigenous nationalities of this land. Yesterday, I spoke with a friend who is in the middle of the protests in Imbabura. She told me she cannot sleep because of the clashes, that the bombs never stop, that the air has become unbreathable, that supplies are running out. Listening to her fills me with helplessness, fear, and the certainty that — from wherever we are — we must keep speaking about this. This has to stop. In Otavalo, an Indigenous city, acts have occurred that go beyond any logic of confrontation and are profoundly racist: last week, the braids of two young Kichwa men were cut off. In the Kichwa cosmovision, hair is not an ornament; it is a bridge to the ancestors, a thread connecting heaven and earth. Cutting it is desecration — an intimate violence, a direct aggression against the identity of our Indigenous nationalities. I write this from Quito, trying to hold with words what others hold with their bodies in the streets. What can we do when power responds with tanks and lies? Keep making noise. Let the world listen. Let international media know what is happening here. Let the collective dignity that sustains us not be extinguished by fear. If you have contacts with media outside Ecuador, please share this. If you know of actions that can help stop this, let us know. We need this regime to respect the lives of the people who inhabit these territories.

A big, collective hug — with the strength of our peoples rising from the Andes. At. Andre --------------------------------------------------------------- Español Ecuador en resistencia — 23 días en las calles Ecuador lleva 23 días en paro nacional. Todo comenzó tras el anuncio del presidente Daniel Noboa sobre el alza del diésel. Desde entonces, cientos de personas han salido a las calles, a las plazas, a sus territorios, para protestar por un subsidio que afecta a todxs. El paro fue convocado por la CONAIE (Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador), y lo que empezó como un reclamo legítimo se ha convertido en un grito colectivo. Yo he salido a manifestar. He visto madres, niños, ancianos. He sentido la fuerza de las personas del campo, indígenas, personas empobrecidas por un sistema que solo quiere aplastarlas, pero que cuando hay un llamado colectivo de lucha, se levantan y ponen su cuerpo para reclamar un sumak kawsay o bien vivir. Todas las manifestaciones han sido reprimidas: policías y militares arremeten sin distinción. Desde el discurso oficial, el gobierno —o su vocera— insiste en llamar terroristas a quienes protestan. Nos reprimen incluso disfrazados de ayuda humanitaria: entran a ciudades como Otavalo, donde la “ayuda” que ofrecen es bombas lacrimógenas, golpes, miedo, encarcelamientos, disparos. El gobierno de Daniel Noboa cree que puede disfrazar su represión como “medidas de seguridad”, desplegando tanques, policías y militares. Cree que puede encarcelar a personas y luego acusarlas de terrorismo para criminalizar la protesta social. Pero no hay amenaza que importe cuando la resistencia es legítima. *Protestar no es terrorismo: es ejercer un derecho profundo, histórico, tejido por las nacionalidades indígenas de este país.* Ayer hablé con una amiga que está en medio de las protestas en Imbabura. Me dijo que no puede dormir por los enfrentamientos, que las bombas no cesan, que el aire se vuelve irrespirable, que las provisiones se están acabando. Escucharla me da impotencia, miedo y la certeza de que desde donde podamos tenemos que seguir hablando de esto. Esto tiene que parar. En Otavalo, ciudad indígena, han ocurrido actos que trascienden la lógica del enfrentamiento y son profundamente racistas: la semana pasada cortaron la trenza de dos jóvenes kichwas. En la cosmovisión kichwa, el cabello no es un adorno; es un puente con los ancestros, un hilo que conecta al cielo con la tierra. Cortarlo es una profanación, una violencia íntima, una agresión directa contra la identidad de nuestras nacionalidades. Escribo esto desde Quito, intentando sostener con palabras lo que en las calles se sostiene con el cuerpo. ¿Qué nos queda por hacer cuando el poder responde con tanques y mentiras? Seguir haciendo ruido. Que el mundo escuche. Que los medios internacionales sepan lo que aquí se vive. Que la dignidad colectiva que nos sostiene no se apague por miedo. Si tienes contactos con medios fuera de Ecuador, compárte esta información. Si sabes de acciones que puedan detener esto, avisa. Necesitamos que este régimen respete la vida de las personas que habitamos estos territorios.

Destruction of Seeds, Provoked Hunger: Genocide of the Palestinian people
by Pallavi Varma- Patil 20 Aug '25

20 Aug '25

Dear all, Sharing a short note condemning the recent destruction of the seed bank in Hebron, Gaza and its implications; not just for Palestinian seeds and their agrobiodiversity but for food / seed sovereignty movements worldwide and our collective futures. The authors ( Elena Lazos-Chavero (Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales, UNAM) and Carlos Ávila Bello (Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios en Agrobiodiversidad, Universidad Veracruzana) wrote this in Spanish originally. The English translation is mine using Google translate with minor modifications approved by the lead author. The lead author is copied in the email, in case anyone wants to connect directly. Best, Pallavi https://naitaleem.wordpress.com/
