Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership - BRIDGES

“Building Inclusive Societies: Diversifying Knowledge and Tackling Discrimination through Civil Society Participation in Universities”.

 

BRIDGES brings together communities from both inside and outside the academy to co-create knowledge through antiracist feminist practices. Through this work, we seek to dismantle the assumptions that theory must be derived from a process of abstraction that is detached from everyday struggles. Instead, it fosters processes of reflection and collective analysis that have originated from situated experiences within and outside European universities, deconstructing divides between the object and the subject of knowledge, and between activism and scholarship. The project seeks to bridge intersecting struggles, building communities to co-produce alternative knowledge through Participatory Action Research.
