In times of accelerated globalization, with the overheated circulation of lifestyle desires and future imaginaries of the good life, children's education has become a site of contested governmental, activist, and entrepreneurial assemblages that connect translocal actors and communities. The literature on transnational education has demonstrated that knowledge circulation prompts the production of "mobile worlds"-the movement of bodies, ideas, and finances. This article extends this well-established body of research and focuses on the connectivities of "minor utopias" emerging from within and across borders. It builds on past ethnographic work in Indonesia as a route into a discussion of recent observations of the emerging national permaculture curriculum pertaining to primary school education in Timor Leste. To theorize the relations and processes that connect translocal actors and communities, I draw on the concept of "worlding"-the continual process of emplacing translocal ideas and assemblages
