UC Links connects university faculty and students with young people and their families in diverse communities around the world. Chapters in this volume describe programs in California and Utah in the United States as well as Germany, Italy, Spain, Uganda, and Uruguay. Together, authors craft stories of transformative models of education and what is possible when we bridge educational research and practice. Chapters offer strategies for co-creating learning environments that are innovative, collaborative, democratic, equity-oriented, and fun. By drawing lessons from authors’ collective and local histories, this volume helps to re-imagine educational practices, policies, and programs.
