Hallo,
Are you involved with reimagining education, recovering knowledges and
restoring enlivened ways of learning in Afrika? Perhaps you are working
within and beyond the modern education systems or in a locally-rooted
learning space, project, community or territory that is regenerating
community, ecology, local economy, culture, spirituality and a sensibility
of coming back home? You could be in learning spaces connected with
different grassroots, social and ecological movements, and indigenous
communities?
Feel warmly invited and welcomed to weave yourself with the Ecoversities
Alliance, and to share your experiences, gifts and questions on how we are
creating our own spaces of learning, unlearning and relearning across Afrika
with us in presence at the 2nd *Afrikan Ecoversities regional gathering in
Nigeria*. We will be hosted by Prikkle Academy <https://prikkleacademy.org/>
in Afon, Kwara State, Nigeria from 12th - 17th November 2024. Prikkle
Academy is a social enterprise in Nigeria creating rural innovation hubs to
inspire youth to connect and create community solutions.
The Ecoversities Alliance <https://ecoversities.org/> is a trans-local
learning community of over 200 transformative learning spaces from more
than 40 countries around the world who have been meeting and working
together since 2015, through international and regional gatherings,
learning exchanges, residencies, workshops, learning journeys, film
festivals, publications and an annual reimagined learning conference. The
Alliance through its member ecoversities seeks to transform the
unsustainable and unjust economic, political and social systems/mindsets
that currently dominate many societies. *We wish to do this by actively
transforming the ways we learn, the tools we use to make sense of the
world, and the ways we create and share knowledge.*
