Mutual Aid Opportunities

our values and orientations:

Emergence

An invitation to the unknown, allowing diverse ways of being, knowing, doing, relating to emerge.

Inquiry in Solidarity

An invitation to be authentic and critically engaged with co-learners, whilst invoking self-reflection, kindness, and compassion to support others in their own inquiries and discoveries.

Experiential Learning

Learning with our senses, stories, spirits, hearts, hands, heads and homes in order to find ways we are interconnected, and entangled in each other’s struggles and dreams.

Emplacement

An invitation to reconnect with and learn from the land, the place and the non-human. To engage in and promote deep localization.

De-colonising

An invitation to address, explore and unlearn the dimensions of oppression, power, and privilege that are part of our own lives, relations, tools, structures, histories and beliefs.

Inter(trans)cultural Dialogue

An invitation to learn in-between cultures, epistemologies, cosmologies, and to learning ways we might not recognize or have experienced before.
To learn from/ within/ beyond diversity.

our purpose

Re-imagining the university and higher education to cultivate human and ecological flourishing.

Connecting people and communities who are reclaiming their local knowledge systems and imaginations to restore and re-envision learning processes that are meaningful and relevant to the call of our times.

Nourishing stories and practices that re-connect and regenerate ecological and socio-cultural systems, and re-build a diverse ecology of knowledges.

ecoversities

Here you will find an ecosystem of communities and organizations that are re-imagining the idea of the university and the purpose of higher education.
