Redefining Education: Becoming Relational 

The videos form part of Dr Deborah Ralls' international comparative research project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust: 'Redefining Education for an Urban Social Solidarity Economy: Becoming Relational'. The project is an international comparative study of education initiatives  in urban contexts in Barcelona, Berlin, New York and Rio de Janeiro. 

This series of videos focuses on children and young people's views on approaches to education that have the potential to develop more inclusive places and economies, to make their city a fairer place. They identify the issues that are most important to them in education and illustrate how engaging children and young people as expert educators, collaborators and change makers is essential in developing a more socially just, equitable world. 

Their messages provide an opportunity to better understand how education initiatives can have a lasting impact on local communities and the development of relational citizenship in urban places.
