We, in contrast, seek to create learning andteaching environments in formal and informal educational spaces that facilitate dialogue, reflexivity and connection to real life needs that enable the creation of methodologies encouraging and realising more democratic
practices;
· Link activism outside and inside the academy, utilising the insights stemming from both practical engagement with the world and engagement with theory that seeks to understand the world. That then would work to produce new knowledge that can bring together academic research with insights gained from grassroots action and everyday practices to produce new knowledge
that serves to help improve the world;
· Build on past and present experiences in social, cultural and political action (e.g., Latin American social movements, WEA (Workers’ Education Association), IRR (Institute of Race Relations), TRAPESE (Take Radical Action through Popular Education and Sustainable Everything!);
· Use such experiences to develop social research projects that can build theory further for future critique and action;
· Develop an independent, cross‐sector, organised community of progressive cultural workers in informal and formal educational contexts working together for a more social just and sustainable future.
