Item Mobilizing community and academic knowledge for transformative change: The story of the UNESCO Chair in community based research and social responsibility in higher education(The Canadian Commission for UNESCO’s IdeaLab, 2017) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshWhat role can higher education play in advancing knowledge democracy and fulfilling its social responsibility? This paper co-authored by Dr. Budd L. Hall and Dr. Rajesh Tandon reflects the establishment, evolution, and contributions of the UNESCO chair in community-based research and social responsibility in higher education. Established in July 2012 as a unique co-chair partnership bridging the University of Victoria (Canada) and Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA, India). This paper outlines the effectiveness of a distinctive global North-South co-chair method in connecting academic institutions with grassroots practitioners to promote knowledge and democracy. The paper explores how universities should collaborate with communities in the co-creation of knowledge to promote social responsibility, inclusion, and sustainable development. Through its three core domains, knowledge mobilization, policy advocacy, and capacity building, the chair has generated substantial, systemic impact. Through global reports, policy dialogues, and training programs, the Chair has influenced higher education policy, fostered international networks, and contributed to embedding engagement and participatory research into the everyday functions of universities. This paper demonstrates how universities can contribute to social change by working closely with communities, promoting sustainable development, and strengthening their social responsibility.Item Knowledge for change (K4C) Global consortium-Mentor training programme: Face-to-Face learning residency report(UNESCO Chair, 2022) Dzulkifli, SurianiItem Knowledge for change: Mentorship training program(UNESCO Chair, 2019) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshItem The knowledge for change global consortium(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2021-11-04) Kaul, NiharikaItem The power of creativity, knowledge and action in knowledge mobilization: Reflections from international work(Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 2020-05) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Contemporary conversations and movements in adult education: From knowledge democracy to the aesthetic turn(2022) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlene EIn this article, two key figures in the history of the International Council for Adult Education, one being the Secretary General, discuss some of the contemporary conversations and movements that we have been a part of and how we are contributing through these areas to the field of adult education.
