The Pluriverse of Alternatives online course emerged from a year of collective dreaming, dialogue and co-creation by a subgroup of The Alternatives Learning Collective (TALC). Rooted in the rich ecosystems of Vikalp Sangam and informed by decades of grassroots wisdom, the course brought together participants from across India and beyond to explore transformative visions of ecological, social, cultural and economic change. Across eight sessions in September, the course offered a deeply reflective, values-based and relational learning journey, one that centered around humility, interdependence, imagination and care.

Across the course, several themes resonated strongly: the importance of community and relationship-building; the need to honor indigenous, local and embodied knowledge systems; the value of slowing down and listening; and the recognition that transformation begins as much within ourselves as in the world around us. Many participants shared that the course rekindled hope, deepened inquiry and offered a rare space for honest, compassionate conversations about the world we inhabit and the worlds we wish to build.
