The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN)
Plexlearning Academies for Mindful Research-to-Practice Lifestyles ...
Beyond schooling toward forms of education that cultivate hope, agency, and responsibility within the politics of being -- in this life.
Plexlearning: co-learning, co-adopting, & co-creating
The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN) is an association of lifestyle academies and neighborhood centers -- continuous co-learning, co-adopting, and co-creating spaces advancing plexlearning-centered, mindfulness-informed Research-to-Practice (R2P) communities.
We leverage trusted life-long relationships, experiential learning, sponsored research, and distributed knowledge networks to strengthen civic engagement, curiosity-driven inquiry, accountable governance, and mutual respect within the politics of being . Through collaborative quality assurance initiatives, we integrate reflective self-study, peer review, capacity building, asset development, strategic planning, and equity stewardship.
Our overarching aim is to advance inalienable individual and collective freedoms -- together with their corresponding responsibilities -- in support of meaningful, equitable, and sustainable ways of being for all, everywhere!
We explore mindful living, accountable governance, and the politics of being among human and non-human agents.
We are engaged ecologically, fiscally, creatively, and curiously in knowledge creation and sharing ...
We strive to peacefully, respectfully, and sustainably cohabit Earth with all our human and non-human neighbors ...
Co-learning, co-creating, and co-evolving with Gaia -- Earth, currently the only known inhabitable planet.
