“Learn2Change – Global Network of Educational Activists” brings together civil society education activists from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Established in 2015, the network serves as a platform for the exchange, development and implementation of new learning approaches to promote global socio-ecological transformation. Through joint learning activities, partners from the Global South and the Global North investigate and disseminate unconventional knowledge and alternative social practices for global change.

What we want to change:

The members of Learn2Change are united by their belief in the transformative power of learning and education within global partnerships. The focus is not so much on imparting knowledge, but on asking questions and searching for new approaches. The aim is to transform awareness of global and local issues into commitment to change and action at the level of educational policy. To achieve this, we offer a wide range of educational formats. Working together with partners from the South and North, we exchange ideas on concepts, philosophies and approaches for alternative social practices, such as global citizenship, Buen Vivir, Ubuntu and the decolonisation of education. We test and disseminate methods that we consider valuable for broadening horizons, gaining learning experiences and stimulating action. Last but not least, our network members from the Global South and North share their personal learning stories and what motivates them into action. This creates a sense of global solidarity between learners and teachers. The fact that people all over the world are committed to global justice and sustainability motivates us to take action towards transformation on a local and global level.

Interested in our network?

On our project homepage and in the book “Learn2Change – changing the world through education”, we have published information about the Learn2Change network, as well as about our educational concepts, methods and learning stories. The homepage and the book are an invitation to join the Learn2Change network but also serve as a pool of ideas for starting your own networks and building and/or maintaining communities.
