A transdisciplinary approach to Human-Nature Relations: The Case of Manos a la Cuenca in Colombia

As part of the lecture on Human Nature Relationships and Environmental Thinking, this presentation highlights an experience of critical and situated environmental education that has fostered transformations not only in human–nature relationships but also in relations within academia and between academia and local communities, promoting environments of collaboration and knowledge exchange. This is exemplified by the transdisciplinary social laboratory Manos a la Cuenca in Suesca, Colombia.
