KNOWLEDGE KEEPERS (KK)

Knowledge Keepers are the living guardians of the Creative Knowledge systems that preserve and maintain unique and diverse practices for a more sustainable and resilient world.
They include farmers, ranchers, gatherers, makers and artisans that are deeply connected to their territory.

Protect your traditional knowledge and transfer it to new generations.
Tell us more about yourself and share your stories, practices and products.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS (KS)

Knowledge Seekers are individuals that help living Knowledge Keepers to document and transmit their knowledge to future generations. They expand appreciation of the Knowledge Keepers’ contribution to community resilience by collecting KK’s stories, practices, traditions and make them available online through the Creative Knowledge Platform.

Learn about your territory and contribute to the local community. Become a knowledge seeker.
