The BRIDGES Flagship Hub at Arizona State University advocates and creates space for the meaningful engagement of traditionally marginalized voices and perspectives as co-teachers and co-learners in justice-driven sustainability education across the lifespan. It does this by supporting, co-designing and co-facilitating humanities-led educational and action-oriented programs/initiatives which leverage the collective wisdom and strengths of humans and nature embedded across disciplinary, cultural, and experiential knowledges.
We’re a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do and dedicated to delivering the best results for our clients.

An exciting update from the BRIDGES Flagship Hub - Last week, Storying Just Futures (SJF) brought a youth-centered approach to policymaking to UNESCO Headquarters in Paris during MOST Social Transformations Week. During the Create the Change workshop session, SJF Fellows presented the Caring Communities/Storying Just Futures toolkit, a pre-policy approach designed to bring youth voices, lived experience, and community knowledge into the earliest stages of policymaking, and to support young people in designing the futures they want to see for themselves and future generations.
This report offers a refreshing, radical alternative to an inevitably doomed future, where youth-led inquiry explores the possibility of "reworlding" our systems of governance through the power of collective imagination.
