Building a Citizen and Inclusive Scientific Culture: Dialogue between Indigenous Knowledge and Education for Sustainable Innovation in the Lékoumou Department of the Republic of Congo

Guy Joseph Moussavou · 2025 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

The author argues that co-constructing knowledge through participatory education models can bridge this gap, enabling indigenous peoples to become agents of sustainable innovation by leveraging their cultural heritage and environmental expertise.
