Various educators, institutions, and individuals are involved in this initiative. They recognize the current global economic, political, and social systems are destroying the Earth and injustices to humans and other beings.

They believe in reimagining the process of learning to confront the challenges of today.

Even though it’s just starting in various places and contexts, these diverse educational initiatives are already critiquing the current education system and presenting new practices.
