In this discursive and participatory workshop, we aim to explore the development of holistic knowledge as a response to systemic structures and contexts that dominate and condition our thinking and action. We welcome practitioners from different fields working with others in everyday public and real-world scenarios through interactions, reciprocity and negotiations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This introductory workshop provides a prelude to a deeper dive into helping practitioners develop their research projects holistically with greater clarity, direction and focus in the future.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to complement the practices of practitioners to develop a praxis that is constructive and dynamic at the meta-level. We will address the limitations of the Western modernistic educational system, which prioritizes texts-based\/author-centric knowledge, external individualism, and pursues materialism, to explore an expanding mindset and alternate philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will initiate various micro-discussions on educational competence, from institutional to non-institutional and graduate to postgraduate levels, in relation to the social contract within a progressive society. We will also discuss differences in research approaches, such as artistic, theoretical, and praxis-led\/based, and biases related to social, disciplines, and egocentricity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our discussions will help us understand and critically evaluate real-world situations, debunk myths, and identify ideal qualities and conditions. We will explore processes for nurturing engaged listening, intersubjective exchanges, participation, and collaboration. We will also discuss positions of power and privilege, such as dominant, minority, and outsider, across disciplines and contexts, including hard-to-reach communities, conditioned, and oppressive culture. Lastly, we will identify the outcomes and collateral damages from institutional and state violence, as well as the rise in tension and anxiety in response to uncertainties and attitudes toward changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
