Abstract	The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Associated Schools Network is an international organization that can help teachers and students learn more about practical ways to apply social justice themes at an academic, personal, social, and global level. Learning processes are holistic and multi-dimensional within this context. Different strands of transformative learning theory that include individual perspective transformation, planetary-global transformative education, non-western ways of knowing, and emancipatory teaching reflect key UNESCO themes. Specific examples of perspectives of social justice held by teachers, administrators, and counsellors and adult learning centres from Winnipeg, Canada are highlighted. This article emphasizes the importance of extending ways of knowing and learning that have the potential to create more dynamic and culturally-inclusive learning environments. Implications for curriculum innovation and creative educational leadership will be addressed. This article is framed from the perspectives of a principal, teacher, and researcher. (As Provided).
