Uniting Minds and Spirits: A Journey of Educational Reform in the Unitarian Movement

Abstract

Education catalyzes social movements, influencing awareness, critical thinking, and organizational skills. It raises consciousness about societal issues, fosters the development of critical thinking, and equips individuals with the skills necessary for effective activism. Institutions become hubs for networking and solidarity, nurturing connections among like-minded individuals. Additionally, academia contributes to social movements through research and theoretical frameworks. Student activism, often rooted in educational institutions, is pivotal in challenging established norms. Education's impact extends to policy advocacy, empowering individuals to engage in shaping societal change. At the same time, Education can be a powerful force for social transformation and social movements, shaping educational discourse and priorities. The study emphasizes the multifaceted and symbiotic relationship between Education and social movements in the Khasi Hills, recognizing their mutual influence in fostering informed, empowered, and socially conscious individuals.
