An African initiative in dialogue with the continent’s diasporas, oriented in the co-production of knowledge situated at the heart of community mobilizations to achieve emancipatory structural transformations that respect the environment and biodiversity.
A decolonial collective that promotes research with action through the organization of popular workshops, awareness campaigns, advocacy, experiential schools, but also the development of curricula and syllabi whose challenge is to rethink pedagogy as a tool for changing mentalities and behaviors.
