Intergenerational dialogue between cultural bodies of knowledge: the transdisciplinary approach

The Charter of Transdisciplinarity presents a set of challenges and questions that feel more pressing than ever today. This approach, which begins by addressing real-world problems, such as climate change, environmental degradation, armed conflicts and poverty, in all their complexity, calls for an integration of knowledge across disciplines, cultures, societies and communities. Drawing on key insights from the 3rd World Congress of Transdisciplinarity (2020-21), this Symposium focuses on the challenge of transdisciplinary ecology. This field encourages a dialogue aimed at breaking down hierarchies between disciplines, fostering a more inclusive, circular exchange of ideas, not just between theory and practice, but across diverse knowledge systems.
