A Workshop Series on University-based Agroecology Learning Programs

See schedule and registration links below

Let’s Educate for Agroecological Transformations

There is a growing interest in approaches to education that can support agroecological transformations. Many grassroots and community-located initiatives, such as peasant agroecology schools, are driving agroecology forward and are widely known to be crucial for scaling out agroecology. In addition, there are an increasing number of colleges and universities with agroecology programs that aim to support agroecology transformations. This seminar series aims to share examples, stories, learnings amongst educators in Higher Education programs from different contexts.

Workshop Goals

1. Share experiences for co-learning and the exchange of ideas, curriculum, pedagogies and institutional innovations.
2. Better understand what higher education for transformation looks like in different contexts, what are the theories of change, the challenges and ways to deepen and grow higher education’s commitment to supporting agroecology and social transformation
3. Cultivate a community of practice amongst university-based education programs

We aim to hold one workshop per month and have included the emerging schedule below. Keep an eye out for updates and please join us in these interactive discussions on educating for agroecology transformations.
