Projektbeschreibung

The “From Local Wisdom to Global Futures: Indigenous Knowledge, Sustainability, and Empowerment” attempts to provide a vibrant platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing and collaboration among academicians, research scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders from across the world. Indigenous knowledge holds eternal key for modern challenges and this research project attempts to uphold the importance of it and emphasize the intersection of sustainable development, community empowerment and inclusive growth. It aims to explore the significance of local wisdom and how it can contribute to addressing the pressing global issues such as inequality, climate change, environment degradation and sustainable development goals.
The research project will highlight innovative ways to integrate traditional knowledge with contemporary science and technology, while promoting inclusive growth and social justice. Special attention will be given to women empowerment of women, youth, marginalized and elderly who will play pivotal roles in sustaining cultural heritage and be the driving force of transformative change. Ultimate aim of the research project is not just mere survival of the indigenous knowledge but also prospers in shaping sustainable, equitable, and robust global futures.
Indigenous knowledge is a timeless repository of sustainable practices, cultural heritage and social justice. In an era of Artificial Intelligence/Machine learning and climate change, it becomes crucial to revisit these local wisdoms and contextualize them in shaping sustainable global futures. This research project seeks to highlight how indigenous practices can inform policy, technology, and empowerment strategies while fostering inclusivity and resilience. By bringing together scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders, the event aims to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge systems and contemporary global challenges.
