About this book

Thirty years after the adoption of the Charter of Transdisciplinarity, this volume brings together the contributions presented at the Transdisciplinary Colloquium on 7 November 2024, organised at the University of Florence under the auspices of CIRET and the UNESCO Transdisciplinary Chair on Human Development and Culture of Peace. The contributions in this volume reflect the dedication and unwavering efforts of researchers, practitioners, and visionaries worldwide who, through the lens of transdisciplinarity, shape a future where peace is understood in its fullest and most nuanced sense. This volume is organised into three interrelated sections. The first highlights the reflections of eminent scholars such as Edgar Morin, Paolo Orefice, Julieta Haidar, and Florent Pasquier, while the second delves into the 2024 UNESCO Recommendation on Education for Peace, offering a comprehensive vision of education for peace and integral ecology. The third section focuses on symposia exploring the practical applications of transdisciplinary thinking, covering themes such as political ecology, cultural dialogue, education for peace, and well-being. We invite you to explore these contributions, reflect on their implications, and join us in this shared endeavour to create a reality where peace transcends violence and where the intricate tapestry of transdisciplinary knowledge guides us towards a better tomorrow.
