Description
This project is inspired by educational methodologies such as BIONAS (social bionarratives) developed in the Global South. It intends to bring these approaches to a Global North audience and to investigate their educative potential for facilitating intercultural education that can help us shift towards more sustainable ways of living. We organise collaborative learning settings, i.e. Lesson Design Workshops where practitioners co-create lessons, tools and educational materials.
