This knowledge Network is based on a long term cooperation between ACCS, CODESRIA and CLACSO and its purpose is to study, produce tools and strategies that further ensure the right to education on equal terms and to advocacy to public policies, both locally and at national levels with a Global South perspective.

This network has been approved and is supported by the Open Society Foundations. The work is collaborative and we propose to identify common areas taking into account and recognizing diversity such as historically and economically disadvantaged groups, ethnic, racial and sexual minorities as well as migrants, refugees and displaced people, indigenous population, women, LGBTIQ+ groups, colored groups, afro-descendants, temporary and transnational migrants and others.

The Coordination Committee was created as of the three Council alliance (CLACSO CODESRIA and ACCS) and we are in the process of conforming the Working Groups to carry out the agreed research in the different regions.

The network´s proposals are to include multi stakeholders such as academics, teachers, educational policy decision-makers, students, persons who may speak on behalf of alternative and diverse educational experiences, members participating within social organizations and representatives of international associations and link them to the right to education and to be able to generate a space capable of influencing the disputes over the production of meaning in education and the understanding of the current dynamics of production and reproduction of social and educational inequalities. In this way, the RED proposes to contribute information to be considered in public policies and social experiences to face them.

The work of the Network will initially take place between August 2021 and July 2023.

CLACSO’s Working Groups: Education and Interculturality; Education Policies and the Right to Education are participating by the following reference (Noelia Enriz, Mariana García Palacios, Elsie Rockwell, Patricia Ames, Javier Campos y Cibele Rodrigues).
