Description

"University of the Trees is a global participatory framework - online and on the ground - recognising different kinds of thinking and knowledge, and prioritising experiential knowing.

University of the Trees is a global participatory network enabling creative initiatives to share their different kinds of knowledge and approaches to understanding and envisioning how we might live in the world without destropying it and each other.

University of the Trees is an alternative, mobile university that offers 'instruments' and approaches for exploring the connection between imagination and transformation, between the poetic and the practical, and for developing new forms of creative action in response to the huge challenges facing us all.

University of the Trees is a 'kit' that creates an arena for exploring our relationship to the world and for developing actions based on new insights. It can used by an existing group or organisation, or by individuals to set up a group.

It is a flexible framework for social-ecological action in which the trees are our teachers and the ecological crisis is seen as an opportunity for consciousness." (http://www.universityofthetrees.org/)
