Dr. Ousmane Aly Pame, Cheikh Anta Diop University, founder of REDES (Network for Ecovillage Emergence and Development in the Sahel)
Introduced by Annie Goeke, Earth Rights Institute
Together, REDES and ERI are developing the Global Regenerative Immersion Program (GRIP) to connect students, educators, and communities through ethical, community-based global learning and to expand this model to other regenerative initiatives around the world.
Dr. Pame will share his 20+ years of weaving peacebuilding through service-learning projects, and how his youth programs model ethical practices of exchange. As founder of REDES he is building a strong foundation for peace across the Sahel through EcoVillages and regenerative projects. With support of organizations like ERI and students from European and African universities, REDES is a strong example of community-driven development inviting academia into its work.
This session is for CBGL educators and climate change educators and advocates.
