Educere – from the Latin meaning: to lead out with creative thought 

Imagine an approach to education rooted in relationships—with place, with community, and with practice.

Educere Alliance is a global network and platform that brings together educators, researchers, and practitioners working across contexts to share and strengthen alternative approaches to learning.

We focus particularly on indigenous knowledge systems, ecological learning, and experiential education, supporting practices that are often under-recognised but deeply valuable.

How Educere works

Educere operates as a field-building platform. We identify and develop case studies, convene conversations, and facilitate connections across a growing network.

Rather than implementing programmes directly, we focus on curation, connection, and knowledge sharing—supporting the wider ecosystem of transformative education.

Educere is connected to the University of Oxford ecosystem and linked to initiatives such as the UNESCO MOST Bridges Coalition, contributing to wider conversations on education and knowledge systems.

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 expressions on our platform. If you want your imagination sparked and sense that current practices in education fail to nourish the future, you will be interested – and may want to join us - in what we are doing. 

Our community includes people from all walks of life - academics, practitioners, educators, authors, artists – but this site relies on a core group to deliver and maintain this content. 

Each member of the core group brings their own flavour of expertise to the mix and volunteer their time and energy to challenge each other, clear the way and generate insight. We all have very different life stories and are working in different geographical areas on different subjects, but each of us is interested in how to approach the future, and how to use knowing or knowledge to creatively bring living back to life.
