ZEF and Right Livelihood: A global network
This kind of cooperation is indeed important for the convergence of plural knowledge in the Global South and the Global North, as well as for collective participation, awareness and appreciation of differences and social structures. It also opens up new and innovative avenues in higher education.
Institutional and personal value
The collaboration between ZEF, its Right Livelihood Campus and our RLC Campus in Mumbai has developed over a long period of time. It has added immense value both institutionally and personally. Institutionally, it has led to student exchanges, joint organization of workshops and lectures, and collaboration in the supervision of PhD students. These formats of collaboration are indeed spaces for fostering global citizenship and critical cosmopolitan capacities. Personally, it has helped to build friendships, knowledge, and emotionally meaningful collegiality across geographies. This is why I am so passionate about this kind of collaboration.
Wishes for ZEF’s 25th
We join you in your celebration and look forward to strengthening our mutual ties. We hope that you will continue to move forward on the path of truly transformative, global, and meaningful education and development.
