"With a prophetic vocation, Débora Junker invites us to join her in a movement to enact an alternative pedagogy of care and justice. This book is a gift of fresh, distinct, and indispensable material in the ever-growing Freirean corpus. And Junker offers it with courage, wisdom, and grace. I strongly recommend it!" --Daniel S. Schipani, professor emeritus of pastoral care and counseling, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary " A Pedagogy for Planetary Convivência by Junker emerges as a profound call to the heart and spirit of our collective consciousness, deeply rooted in feminist theology of care from the Global South and Freirean critical pedagogy. The book, crafted with tenderness and fierce passion, invites us into a sacred dialogue between the soul of the Earth and the essence of human interconnectedness." --Boyung Lee, professor of practical theology, Illif School of Theology "Offering the powerful image of reconnecting us to the ''flow of the rivers of life,'' Débora Junker invites us into a holistic conversation about ''care-full'' transformative education. I recommend we journey with her.

" --Jack Seymour, professor emeritus of religious education, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "This book is a timely response to a world that is in desperate need for civil sensibilities that are laced with compassion, care, and dialogical spaces. Débora Junker provides a pathway toward navigating those sensibilities in a stylistically approachable manner that stirs one to reflect, inspiring to tangibly participate in fostering a more loving, just, and kind planet." --James D. Kirylo, professor of curriculum theory, critical pedagogy, and literacy, University of South Carolina ---------- "This is a book written from the heart of a Brazilian woman, a Christian critical educator. Its message communicates across cultures and traditions a compelling and radically inclusive vision of life together-- convivência --with reconciliation with each other and healing and wholeness for the earth as well. With a prophetic vocation, Débora Junker invites us to join her in a movement to enact an alternative pedagogy of care and justice; that is, an education that nurtures emotional, socio-political and spiritual intelligence, and moral discernment aimed at wholesome living ( buen vivir ). The reason for the resonance of her message is that it addresses our deepest longing for truth and meaning, communion and connectedness, and for life giving and community building life projects. This book is a gift of fresh, distinct and indispensable material in the ever-growing Freirean corpus.

And Débora Junker offers it with courage, wisdom, and grace. I strongly recommend it!" --Daniel S. Schipani, professor of pastoral care and counseling, emeritus, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary " Pedagogy for Planetary Convivência by Junker emerges as a profound call to the heart and spirit of our collective consciousness, deeply rooted in feminist theology of care from the Global South and Freirean critical pedagogy. The book, crafted with tenderness and fierce passion, invites us into a sacred dialogue between the soul of the Earth and the essence of human interconnectedness. Junker weaves a vibrant tapestry of personal stories and scholarly wisdom, advocating for an educational praxis that embraces compassion, justice, and ecological integrity as pillars of global citizenship. The book is Junker''s clarion call to embrace our inherent interconnectedness with both the planet and one another, urging us to cultivate a pedagogy that is both liberatory and deeply grounded in the nurturing of life in all its forms. A must-read for those who stand at the intersection of faith, human wholeness, and the fight for a just and sustainable world, Junker''s work guides us towards a transformative convivência that honors the divine in every creature and the sacredness of our shared home." --Boyung Lee, professor of practical theology, Illif School of Theology "Offering the powerful image of reconnecting us to the ''flow of the rivers of life,'' Debora Junker invites us into a holistic conversation about ''care-full'' transformative education.

I recommend we journey with her. Not only does she provide a dialogue with a cross-continental group social philosophers, critical educators, and theologians, but also, she passionately and poetically demonstrates how feelings, care, solidarity, lovingness, and community are at the heart of critical reflection and social change." --Jack Seymour, professor emeritus of religious education, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "Grounded in a contemplative Christian spirituality, an insightful grasp of Freirean thought, and an evident interfaith, interreligious, and ecumenical tone, coupled with diverse cultural contexts, this book is a timely response to a world that is in desperate need for civil sensibilities that are laced with compassion, care, and dialogical spaces. Débora Junker provides a pathway toward navigating those sensibilities in a stylistically approachable manner that stirs one to reflect, inspiring to tangibly participate in fostering a more loving, just, and kind planet." --James D.
