[PeDAGoG] Scaling out a pluriversality of alternative futures: the case of Vikalp Sangam [New REDWeb Article]

[Pooja Kishinani]

Dear friends,

We have a new article on the Vikalp Sangam process written by Emilia
Lewartowska and Lone Riisgaard.

*Scaling out a pluriversality of alternative futures: the case of Vikalp
Sangam

Vikalp Sangam (or Alternatives Confluence) is a national platform and
process established in India in 2014 to document, network, and create
collaborations amongst grassroots movements and groups constructing
alternative models for justice, equity, and ecological sustainability. Last
November, authors Emilia Lewartowska and Lone Riisgaard attended the VS
General Assembly meeting in Shoranur, Kerala. They offer reflections on
participatory democratic processes within multi-level alternative
organising, illustrating how the VS process connects the global with the
local experimentations on the ground. Rather than aiming to scale up and
provide a unified front, the VS process seeks to scale out and deep,
interconnecting a pluriversality of experiences, practices voices and
justice demands.
