BRIDGES Flagship Hub, Arizona State University

ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory Flagship Hub

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.

Reworlding Planetary Governance: YOUTH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UN DECLARATION ON FUTURE GENERATIONS.

We invite you to read the Outcome Report of the ‘Learning for Planetary Citizenship and Anticipatory Governance’ UNESCO Futures Literacy Lab: Reworlding Planetary Governance: YOUTH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UN DECLARATION ON FUTURE GENERATIONS. The goal was not to predict what may come next, but to practice different ways of seeing, sensing, conceptualizing, and shaping what might be possible by imagining and developing plausible scenarios for the future. What if the very act of learning could be planetary? What if a university could be a place not only of knowledge, but of responsibility, reciprocity, and regeneration? And what if governance made space for those who have never been allowed to speak—rivers, trees, future generations, and the systemically unheard?
