Education Sub-council

The Education for Life and Peace network emerged from the 2012 Vision Council with the creation of Red CASA México (Sustainable Settlements Council of the Americas) as part of the Education petal and adding efforts with the Transition movement in Mexico.

Its objective is the exchange of knowledge and learning processes to promote educational models and learning communities, as alternatives to current conventional education.

As of 2018 within the framework of the Aágile 2018 Evolved Education Meeting  

A collaborative link is created between the CEVP (Education Council for Life and Peace) and Educambiando ALC as well as with the ALC network (Agile Learning Centers) and Transición México.

 

In order to share tools, practices and strategies that support the maintenance of communities that promote free and self-directed learning.

Our proposal within the CdV is to put into practice the same tools and methodologies that are used in these learning centers to carry out activities that promote the internal organization processes for the Event with the public, thus making known in practice more than in theory the aforementioned.
