Abstract	In view of the importance and urgency of transformation within post-colonial educational settings, this article considers key concepts in relation to re-curriculation efforts. It specifically discusses how the concepts of development and decolonization are typically understood and how they can be reimagined through the realism provided by the African moral philosophy of "ubuntu." "Ubuntu" foregrounds deeply relational and immaterial notions of power, and through its lens development can be thought of in terms of 'mutual empowerment' and decolonization as a process of 'constructive resilience'. The author elaborates on these definitions and draws on a practical example from an educational project in Limpopo, South Africa, to show how this can be operationalized and translated into the genesis of materials and methods that facilitate participatory citizenship.
