Session #1
Learning from/within Ecotones
Educational Experiments for a Critical Urban Pedagogy beyond Anthropocentrism
by FOTINI Takirdiki

on Fri.,

@ 5:30 PM IST


What does it entail to regard the “Ecotone“ as a pedagogical framework and an experimental field for relearning urbanism? In her talk, Fotini Takirdiki discusses the ecological concept of the Ecotone (e.g. wetlands, mangrove forests or grasslands) as a facilitator of biodiversity and a vessel for imagination as well as the educational practices that might emerge from it. She does so by connecting ideas from educational philosopher Paulo Freire and from anthropologist Gregory Bateson with own ethnographic investigations of the swamp Briesetal in North Brandenburg, Germany.
