Co-creating a European Portal for Transformative Education

An increasing number of initiatives across Europe and worldwide develop and deliver transformative adult and higher education which is inspired by integral, holistic and sustainability frameworks. Many of these initiatives, however, struggle with visibility, viability and recognition. In conversations among several initiatives and networks the idea emerged to co-create a European portal for transformative education to promote and strengthen this emerging field. We will present and discuss possible functions and services of this portal and give a preview of how it could be prototyped from next year. Feedback and suggestions will be invited from anybody interested in transformative learning, research, leadership and action.
