A group of faith-based and indigenous organizations from across Asia launched online on Friday, July 30, a new institution dubbed the Asian School of Wisdom (ASW) that will be based in Thailand.
The new institution aims to shape “youthful and learning communities” that will live in “authentic dialogue-based partnership” with farming and indigenous communities in the region.
The aim is “to promote the holistic transformation of young Asian learners, within or outside formal educational institutions,” into “agents in an era of change for the world.”
The goal is to mobilize communities that will “engage with the power and promise of Asian wisdom in the service of the global commons … in (an) effort to build an equitable, just, and sustainable Asia.”
The institution said that through its partners and associates, it will reach out to young and vulnerable communities “for the creation of a hope-filled future.”
“It will be an effort to establish a just and green world filled with intergenerational love, faith, hope, justice and peace,” it added.
