Vienna, sept 2024: an international conversation about how Ecosocial education links social and ecological justice
What is ecosocial education and how might it transform how we relate to our world in common, in the face of current crises? Ecosocial education starts from the notion that social and ecological justice go together. It teaches young generations respectful, sustainable and caring ways of relating to the living and offers other ways of thinking, relating, acting and working in our social and ecological worlds. In this event, we’ll explore why and how ecosocial education needs to be diverse, anti-racist, (eco)feminist and justice-oriented in order to be transformative. We learn from international as well as Viennese initiatives and networks, and focus in on the Austrian context and its challenges for diversity and justice. We will likely finish with a banner-making session. All are welcome – join us!
