Description
This seminar presents an international, collaborative research program that positions schools as key spaces of resistance and transformation in response to social and environmental crises threatening fundamental rights. Through ethnographic case studies, it illustrates how educators and communities engage in collective action to address structural inequalities, including housing insecurity and environmental injustice. The seminar also introduces EJES en Red, an online platform that supports school-led collaboration and transformative educational practice.
