- [Glossary: worldmaking](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-worldmaking/): Worldmaking reminds us that there are many possible worlds aside from the dominant worldview that overshadows other views.
- [Glossary: power-within](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-power-within/): This form of power is based on Othering people who ‘diQer’ from a particular established norm. Power-with and power-within are practices of communal power and personal power. 
- [Glossary: embodied justice](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-embodied-justice/): Justice, fairness and liberation are linked to practices of freedom that engage our agency and capacities to change perspectives and worlds. 
- [Glossary: ecological belonging](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-ecological-belonging/): Belonging is a practice that defies Othering. As living beings, we have an innate desire to belong. A felt sense of belonging awakens certain hormones that generate feelings of joy, togetherness, camaraderie, interconnectedness, power-with, and more.
- [Glossary: Epistemology](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-epistemology/): The study of knowledge, concerned with how we know what we know. It explores the nature of knowledge, its limits, and how we acquire it.
- [Glossary: Ontology](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-ontology/): The study of being and existence, focusing on understanding what things are and how they exist. It asks questions like “What is reality?” and “What entities exist in the world?”
- [Glossary: The Pluriverse](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-the-pluriverse/): A concept that recognizes and celebrates the existence of multiple ways of being, knowing, and living in the world. It’s the idea that there isn’t just one single way to understand or experience life; instead, there are many different perspectives, cultures, and systems of knowledge that coexist and are equally valid.
- [Glossary: Radical Hospitality](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-radical-hospitality/): Creating a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone feels valued and respected. It’s like opening your home and heart to others.
- [Glossary: Co-Creation](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-co-creation/): Working together with others to create something new. It’s about teamwork, where everyone’s ideas are valued.
- [Glossary: Intersectionality](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-intersectionality/): Understanding that different types of inequality (like racism, sexism, and environmental injustice) are connected and can’t be separated. It’s like seeing the whole puzzle instead of just one piece.
- [Glossary: Ubuntu](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-ubuntu/): An African philosophy that means “I am because we are.” It’s about recognizing that we are all connected and that we thrive when we support each other.
- [Glossary: Cultivating presence](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-cultivating-presence/): Being fully aware and engaged in the current moment, both mentally and emotionally. It’s like tuning in completely to what’s happening right now, rather than being distracted by thoughts about the past or worries about the future.
- [Glossary: Pedagogies](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-pedagogies/): The methods and practices used in teaching. It's essentially the "how" of education - how teachers help students learn and how students engage with what they're being taught.
- [Glossary: Resilience](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-resilience/): Your ability to bounce back from tough situations. It’s like being a rubber band that stretches but doesn’t break.
- [Glossary: Inner Work](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-inner-work/): Taking time to reflect on your emotions, thoughts, and values to build your inner strength. It’s like working out for your mind and soul.
- [Glossary: Polycrisis](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-polycrisis/): When multiple crises (like climate change, economic instability, and social injustice) happen at the same time, making each one harder to deal with. It’s like juggling too many things at once.
- [Glossary: Collective transformation](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-collective-transformation/): when a group of people, like a community, a movement, or even a generation, decides to make a big change together. This change isn’t just about what they do; it’s also about how they think, how they relate to each other, and how they see the world. 
- [Glossary: Mindfulness](https://climateyouthresilience.org/glossary-mindfulness/): Staying present in the moment, aware of your thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. Think of it like hitting pause in your mind.
