Abstract
This article explores decoloniality and creative education in the Global South, focusing on integrating art, architecture, design, and traditional practices into contemporary educational frameworks. It highlights the benefits of incorporating local traditions and environmental principles into curricula through literature reviews, interviews, and case studies from the Americas, Africa, and Asia, promoting cultural diversity and social justice. The article critiques colonial power dynamics and suggests a more inclusive, interdisciplinary approach. It addresses challenges faced by marginalized communities, proposing strategies for universities to develop equitable and culturally responsive pedagogies. The study underscores the importance of context in creativity, advocating for curricular reforms that include educators from the Global South to foster cultural sensitivity and promote social change.
