What is the Decolonial Open Communiversity?
The Decolonial Open Communiversity (DOC) is a space for all peoples from across the world to share their diverse cultures, wisdoms, knowledges, skills, understandings and contexts in order to effectively unify our paths to repair humanity and Mother Earth. It is about learning collectively through transforming the world.
Why we are organising the DOC:
For centuries knowledge has been developed by billions of people in all corners of the world to preserve life, maintain balance and build a more just world. Our rights did not come out of academia but out of the struggle of ordinary peoples and communities fighting for their freedom, this is a movement that is resurging today and is a continuation of what humans have always done in difficult times to support each other to build a better and more fair world.
The DOC is a historic reunion led by real people, particularly those from indigenous and other colonised communities of resistance, who want Planet Repairs change. We are going to come together because the times say that we need to. We will be asking the difficult questions and seeking to co-produce viable answers. Everyone is invited to the table. We are going to share knowledge, music and other forms of cultural creativity. At a time when all forms of war are again being used to divide us, glocally build new bridges with peoples from across the world.
The objectives of the DOC are:
- To develop Global Citizenship Education with clarity of different geopolitical contexts and towards the decolonisation of the mind for Planet Repairs
- To develop a shared intergenerational and intercultural space of co-learning to share the pluriversality of our different wisdoms, cultures and strategies of struggle
- To strengthen our spirit of unity and conviction of struggle with a firm political position against an imperialist system.
- To strengthen a true sentiment and commitment to internationalist solidarity
