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 is an increasing number of colleges and universities with agroecology courses and programs that aim to support agroecology transformations. This seminar series aims to share examples, stories, and 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 higher education programs

In 2025, we aim to hold one seminar every other month, so do keep an eye out for updates on this schedule of interactive discussions on educating for agroecology transformations. Meanwhile, do have a look at the excellent 2024 seminar presentations and recordings below (available in English and Spanish).
