Summary

Formally registered in 1976, over the past four decades of its existence SIEDS (Society for Informal Education and Development Studies) has been a unique experiment in collective politics and functioning. Over the decades the core concerns of SIEDS have evolved around human dignity and rights; social harmony and peace; transformative and constitutional justice, decentralised democracies and inclusive development. While responding to multiple issues related to gender, class, caste, religion, environment, local self-governance and basic entitlements for the rural and urban poor, the attempt has been to weave together responsive activism with reflective analysis and a critical aesthetics. The search has been for processes of change that while rooting themselves in specific cultures and communities draw from more universal notions of justice, peace and human creativity.
