ABSTRACT

This text grows out of Zindr, a three-year learning initiative in Ghent, Belgium that seeks space for the appetite to learn and to live – in contexts where social exclusion often narrows that space. We work across the boundaries of care, education, and culture, in search of what allows people and communities to flourish.
