Aims · ReGENerative Education Showcase & Toolkit
Regenerative Schools balance traditional and innovative practices, respecting and creatively weaving the history of local culture into solutions that meet needs for the future. These diverse places of learning serve the learners by igniting their senses and channeling their natural curiosity. When children are allowed to learn by doing and through relationships with each other and the adults that support them, this sets the foundation for thriving communities.
Regenerative schools...
* Reconnect learners and communities to their own cultures, ecosystems, and history
* Support communities in their own pathways to sustainable development
* Transform schools into living examples of local resilience and abundance
* Utilize the full potential of schools as intergenerational centers of collaboration
* Counter cultural erosion caused by colonialism and globalization
* Provide an alternative to unsustainable models of land use and global development
* Spread collaborative, project-based education for sustainable development
* Equip the next generation and their parents with hands-on skills for locally appropriate regeneration, climate change adaptation, and social entrepreneurship
* Strengthen resilience and food security where undernourishment is rampant
