This research explores informal learning and inter-generational cultural transmission within nomadic Fulani
communities in Ghana. Central to the study is the concept of just transitions, which ensures that sustainability
efforts are inclusive of marginalized groups. For the Fulani, this means integrating their traditional ecological
knowledge into modern environmental and economic policies. The research will examine how the Fulani, with
their transnational migration patterns, preserve and adapt their knowledge amidst socio-economic and
environmental challenges.
The study is globally significant as it addresses issues faced by mobile and marginalized communities
worldwide. By focusing on informal learning, where knowledge is passed through everyday interactions, the
study offers insights into equitable policies that support education, migration, and cultural-preservation.
Using a mixed-methods approach, the team will document Fulani oral histories, observe daily life, and analyse
evolving cultural practices. This approach ensures that Fulani voices guide the findings, informing policies that
respect their unique needs
