OUR VISION
We aim to transform political terminology in Myanmar's political environment from confusing barriers into meaningful bridges.
MISSION AND ACTIONS
Our mission is to harness the power of research-driven insights and compelling narratives to demystify political language, foster skepticism towards structures of power, and catalyze meaningful deliberations that drive positive change in Myanmar's political landscape.
We work with local leaders, youth, women and the marginalized peoples using the tools of critical thinking and decolonizing political lens to explore a deep understanding of their plural histories, common good(s) and justice. We are delivering our insights through publishing accessible books, organizing trainings, and facilitating open learning circles.
Building on this mission, we are expanding our work across three integrated pillars:
- Research & Knowledge Generation – producing evidence-based outputs including Five-Level Explainers (e.g., Feminism, Indigenous Nationalism, Federalism), digital oral history archives, and critical discourse analyses that uncover hidden patterns in politics, history, and public narratives. Our research also explores innovative topics such as the relationship between food trends, forest changes, and federal governance, ensuring intellectual rigor paired with community relevance.
- Knowledge Distribution & Public Education – translating research into accessible tools for youth and communities through free online courses on Critical Knowledge, Humanizing Politics, and Indigenous Politics, along with workshops, multimedia resources, and facilitated dialogue sessions. These initiatives ensure that complex ideas become actionable knowledge, nurturing political literacy and ethical leadership.
- Communities of Practice & Leadership Development – cultivating sustainable networks of youth, women, and community leaders who practice accountable governance, collaborative problem-solving, and reflective decision-making. Through learning circles, facilitator training, cross-regional exchanges, and youth-led initiatives, we nurture ethical, resilient leadership and a culture of deliberative democracy.
Through this integrated approach, we aim to create a pipeline of politically literate, ethically grounded, and critically engaged leaders capable of shaping a pluralistic, accountable, and Indigenous-centered federal Myanmar.
