Edhyla - Knowledge for Change

Our team conducted a training session on Environmental Children Rights in the Context of Extractive Industry in Jangamo, Inhambane province, south of Mozambique. In the final evaluation, the participants say they have learnt about how to protect children's rights in the context of extractive industry and thought about some activities to mitigate the climate effects of the industry. Edhyla is committed to using knowledge to generate social change that’s why is partnering with Ethale Publishing to execute projects for its clients.

The American scholar Farah Jasmine Griffin advocates for the action through her work and that’s one of our values as Edhyla, because we need knowledge that changes people's lives and the society. In a certain part of the interview by Mellon Foundation we are sharing she says: “I’ve been working for years with a social justice organization in Harlem called The Brotherhood Sister Sol. We provide holistic services for Harlem youth and train them to be organizers. My other personal call to action is to share the knowledge that I’ve learned, and helped to produce, with as broad a swath of people as possible in ways that might inform social movements. And that‘s one of the things I try to do in this book. This isn’t just to put forward an academic theory: I’m speaking to organizers, but also to writers and artists”.
