During 2026-2028, BRIDGES intends to launch four high-impact international co-production projects to position BRIDGES as a significant driver of policy-relevant knowledge creation through transdisciplinary and intercultural co-production.
These co-production projects sit in alignment with UNESCO’s priorities among the following focus areas:
These will be designed to demonstrate the value of BRIDGES signature methodology. The objective is to exhibit and establish how inclusive, collaborative knowledge practices can meaningfully address complex sustainability challenges by integrating diverse epistemologies, lived experiences and cultural perspectives.
By centring local voices and fostering genuine partnerships across disciplines and regions, BRIDGES is able to produce actionable insightsand frameworks that are both contextually grounded and globally relevant.
BRIDGES advocates for projects to be deeply rooted in local contexts and shaped by the specific needs, histories, and capacities of participating communities, but at the same time, are designed to generate insights that are scalable and transferable, thereby offering adaptable models, frameworks and policy-relevant findings that can inform practice and governance in other regions facing similar challenges.
Through this approach, BRIDGES connects the local and the global, demonstrating how grounded, contextual knowledge can inform broader transformations towards sustainability and social justice. These initiatives, therefore, serve as exemplars of how co-produced knowledge can inform policy, empower communities and support transformative social and environmental change, locally, regionally and globally.
