In the Amazon, the traditional recipes of the Ticuna communities (one of the indigenous ethnic groups), are a precious heritage passed down and continually refined through generations, carrying deep historical, cultural, and ecological wisdom. However, traditional cooking methods have gradually disappeared, especially among the younger generation. To protect this invaluable knowledge, the women of one Ticuna community have spontaneously formed an innovative group called “Sabores y Sabores Ticuna,” dedicated to reviving traditional recipes. They pass down the traditions, incorporate new ideas, sparking the younger generation’s interest in Ticuna culture and the natural environment.

The renaturalization of schoolyards is transforming traditional asphalt playgrounds into "living courtyards" to combat nature deficit disorder and climate change. By integrating vegetation and natural elements, cities like Paris and Barcelona are fostering environments that improve student well-being, promote gender equity in play, and serve as "co-teachers" for experiential learning. This piece, by Isabel Ruiz-Mallén, published by Educere Alliance, illustrates how successful transformation relies on deep public investment and participatory design that involves the entire school community.
