The DEFY project offers spaces for reflection on the following questions:
- What does education look like in times of complex social and ecological crises?
- How can we allow feelings and emotions, (endure) them together and expand educational spaces with this focus?
The project explores complex knowledge, personal entanglement, resilience and collective responses – based on the “Depth Education” approach.
The target group consists of practitioners in education and multipliers.
