Introducing two complementary international initiatives working to transform how knowledge informs governance, sustainability and global policy: UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES (Bridging Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Futures) and the Educere Alliance

Wednesday, 24 June 2026, 3pm to 5pm

BRIDGES operates within UNESCO’s Management of Social Transformations (MOST) programme and seeks to strengthen equitable dialogue between diverse knowledge systems, including Indigenous, local, scientific, artistic and humanities-based forms of expertise, in public decision-making. At a time of climate instability, institutional fragility and deepening epistemic inequality, BRIDGES advances new approaches to knowledge governance grounded in reciprocity, plurality and structural inclusion.
The Educere Alliance extends this work through applied collaboration. It is a global community of educators, scholars and project leaders seeking to innovate in education through a focus on resilience, skilled practices and good living. Educere gathers projects that include traditional, craft, vernacular, Indigenous and alternative bio-centric methods and offer a platform for emerging pedagogies to shine.
Together our hope is to inspire meaningful paradigm shifts by enabling a fertile wealth of ideas and methods to congregate, collaborate and cross-pollinate into unique, inclusive expressions.
