The drums have sounded and they are calling us to BENIN for our 3rd Afrika regional gathering of the Ecoversities Alliance. Welcome to you explorer, weary traveller, curious, un\/learning, reimagining, wild dreaming, re-rooting, soil tending, love bringing, justice enlivened being.\u00a0<\/p>

Feel warmly invited and welcomed to weave yourself with the Ecoversities Alliance, and to share your experiences, gifts and questions on how we create our own spaces of learning, unlearning and relearning across Afrika with us at the 3rd Afrikan Ecoversities regional gathering in Benin from the 4th – 11th January 2026.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

We will be hosted by the organisation GRABE-Benin, a member of the Ecoversities Alliance, EarthRise Collective and Afrikan Earth Jurisprudence Collective. Together we will sit with elders, including yes, the elder sacred forest groves that GRABE-Benin have been in the process of restoring for the last 20 years. We will share skills, we will dance, we will sing, we will eat, we will laugh, we might cry, we will definitely feast with the land and the spirits. We will ask ourselves the dangerous questions, the possible questions that open up possibilities for the soil to come back alive where we are. You may leave with more questions than answers, but your heart will leave full, fortified and rewoven with your Afrikan family.\u00a0<\/p>

Even more so now the Earth and times are calling for us to deepen our roots and our weave with each other in order to respond with ever more faith, resilience and affirmation that new worlds are possible, and that together we are creating them.\u00a0<\/p>

We are trying to go far, will you accept our invitation to go together?<\/p>

Fill in your application form on the link in bio by 20th November 2025, let\u2019s start to re-weave possibility<\/strong><\/p>

Les tambours ont retenti et nous appellent au B\u00e9nin pour notre 3e rencontre r\u00e9gionale africaine de l’Alliance des \u00c9co-universit\u00e9s. Bienvenue \u00e0 vous, explorateur, voyageur fatigu\u00e9, curieux, en qu\u00eate d’apprentissage, de d\u00e9sapprentissage et de r\u00e9apprentissage, r\u00eaveur audacieux, enracin\u00e9, gardien de la terre, porteur d’amour et anim\u00e9 par la justice.\u00a0<\/p>

Nous vous invitons chaleureusement \u00e0 vous joindre \u00e0 l’Alliance des \u00c9co-universit\u00e9s et \u00e0 partager vos exp\u00e9riences, vos dons et vos questions sur la mani\u00e8re dont nous cr\u00e9ons nos propres espaces d’apprentissage, de d\u00e9sapprentissage et de r\u00e9apprentissage \u00e0 travers l’Afrique, lors de la 3e rencontre r\u00e9gionale africaine des \u00c9co-universit\u00e9s au B\u00e9nin, du 4 au 11 janvier 2026.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Nous serons accueillis par l’organisation GRABE-Benin, membre de l’Alliance des \u00c9co-universit\u00e9s, du collectif EarthRise et du collectif africain de jurisprudence de la Terre. Ensemble, nous nous r\u00e9unirons avec les anciens, y compris, bien s\u00fbr, les anciens bosquets sacr\u00e9s que GRABE-Benin s’efforce de restaurer depuis 20 ans. Nous partagerons nos comp\u00e9tences, nous danserons, nous chanterons, nous mangerons, nous rirons, nous pleurerons peut-\u00eatre, et nous c\u00e9l\u00e9brerons assur\u00e9ment la terre et les esprits. Nous nous poserons les questions difficiles, les questions qui ouvrent des possibilit\u00e9s pour que la terre reprenne vie l\u00e0 o\u00f9 nous sommes. Vous repartirez peut-\u00eatre avec plus de questions que de r\u00e9ponses, mais votre c\u0153ur sera rempli, fortifi\u00e9 et profond\u00e9ment li\u00e9 \u00e0 votre famille africaine.\u00a0<\/p>

Plus que jamais, la Terre et l’\u00e9poque nous appellent \u00e0 approfondir nos racines et nos liens mutuels afin de r\u00e9pondre avec toujours plus de foi, de r\u00e9silience et d’affirmation que de nouveaux mondes sont possibles, et qu’ensemble, nous les cr\u00e9ons. Nous aspirons \u00e0 aller loin, accepterez-vous notre invitation \u00e0 cheminer ensemble ?\u00a0<\/p>

Remplissez votre formulaire d’inscription via le lien dans la bio avant le 20 novembre 2025 et commen\u00e7ons \u00e0 tisser de nouvelles possibilit\u00e9s. https:\/\/forms.gle\/iaHZg9mpx9Hxin4u9<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>
