What if the most important lessons about climate change and sustainability didn’t come from universities, but from the communities living closest to nature? In this episode, Dr Carolina Redolfi discusses an innovative collaboration between Oxford Brookes University, Goldsmiths, University of London and Unviersidade Federal de Rondonia in Brazil that is working with traditional and Indigenous communities in the Amazon. Rather than exporting education, the project focuses on listening, co-creating and empowering local people to share their own stories through digital communication. Discover why local knowledge matters, how global partnerships can become more equal, and what universities can learn when they stop assuming they have all the answers.
