The Peoples' Institute for Re-thinking Education and Development

Ecoversities Alliance

ecoversities: learners and communities reclaiming diverse knowledges, relationships and imaginations to design new approaches to higher education.

What might the university look like if it were at the service of our diverse ecologies, cultures, economies, spiritualities and Life within our planetary home?

Our Vision

The Ecoversities Alliance is committed to radically re-imagining higher education to cultivate human and ecological flourishing. Ecoversities seek to transform the unsustainable and unjust economic, political and social systems/mindsets that dominate the planet.

Our Hope

Supporting learners and communities around the world to reclaim their own processes of un/learning, knowledge co-creation and sharing, and community building. Inspiring, nourishing, connecting and giving visibility to diverse eco-versities initiatives around the world. Building solidarities, collective inquiries, inter-cultural dialogue and new experiments in higher education. Nurturing an ecology of knowledges, radical pedagogies and learning commons which expands human consciousness and cultural and ecological regeneration.

Our Actions

The Ecoversities Alliance is a trans-local community of over 100 transformative learning spaces from around the world who have been meeting and working together since 2015 through international and regional gatherings, learning exchanges, campaigns, workshops, learning journeys, film festivals and publications.
