Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer

Seba Jagat recognizes the importance of intergenerational knowledge transfer in preserving traditional wisdom and ensuring its integration with modern practices. The initiative focuses on fostering communication between the older and younger generations to facilitate the exchange of critical skills, cultural practices, and ecological knowledge. Elders in the community, who hold vast knowledge about local ecosystems, agricultural practices, medicinal plants, and traditional crafts, are key figures in this knowledge-sharing process. Seba Jagat organizes intergenerational workshops, storytelling sessions, and hands-on training to pass down this valuable information to younger community members, especially the youth and women. These efforts not only preserve indigenous knowledge but also empower the younger generation to apply this knowledge in contemporary contexts, blending it with new agricultural techniques, market demands, and environmental challenges. By facilitating this transfer of knowledge, Seba Jagat ensures the continuity of sustainable agricultural practices, enhances food security, and strengthens community resilience. Moreover, the transfer of traditional knowledge also serves as a platform for promoting gender equality, as women, who traditionally play a central role in preserving and transmitting cultural and ecological knowledge, are given prominence in these interactions. Through intergenerational knowledge transfer, Seba Jagat bridges the gap between the past and the future, ensuring the sustainability of both cultural heritage and ecological well-being.
