Education Foundations
for Thriving Futures
Every generation inherits a world shaped by those who came before
and leaves one for those who follow
Today we live in a time of extraordinary possibility and unprecedented complexity. Scientific discovery, technological innovation and global communication have expanded humanity’s ability to understand and influence the world. At the same time, ecological, social and economic systems have become increasingly interconnected, making many of the relationships upon which our future depends harder to perceive.
Knowledge remains essential, while the challenges of the twenty-first century also require the capacity to locate information, examine how we know what we know, connect knowledge with experience, understand consequences across different timescales, and make informed choices about what to prioritise.Thriving Futures 2100 explores how education can help cultivate these capacities, drawing together insights from science, Indigenous knowledge, systems thinking, education and practical experience.
The project offers ways to understand regeneration transitions and opportunities to develop the knowledge, experience and capacities to participate in them. Educators, community leaders, researchers, students, parents and others interested in humanity’s future are invited to join a learning community committed to observing carefully, learning continuously and contributing thoughtfully to the regeneration of Earth, communities and humanity.
The Global Care Packs Programs
Global Care Packs offers connected learning programs for young people, educators, community builders and regeneration stewards. Participants explore the human story, the living world and the ways communities cooperate and learn, combining online courses and dialogue with experiential, place-based learning.
The name Global Care Packs reflects the idea that care is something we carry, share and put into practice. Each program builds a growing “pack” of knowledge, skills, experiences and relationships that supports participation in regeneration transitions, from introductory learning through specialised programs, mentoring, community practice and place-based experiences.
Each programme follows two connected learning paths. The Narrative Learning Path explores knowledge systems, human history and the River System of Human Time. The Experiential Learning Path develops learning through direct experience, observation, practice and participation. Across both paths, learners develop relationships and capacities through Nature Connection and Earth Regeneration, Prosocial Connection and Community Regeneration, and Universal Connection and Human Regeneration
The book introduces the River System of Human Time and the educational foundations behind Thriving Futures 2100 and its approach to Regeneration Transitions. To order a copy, click here.
FOUNDING COMMUNITY JANUARY 2027
Be part of the founding community.
Learn globally. Practise locally. Build community.
Beginning January 2027, we are bringing together a small international group of people who want to learn from one another, explore what regeneration means where they live, and contribute their own experience, questions and discoveries to something we build together

Festival 2100
A developing travelling learning experience
Festival 2100: Regeneration Economics in Action is a travelling living learning experience that brings the River System of Human Time to life. Schools and other visitors journey through five experiential learning areas, exploring how humans have lived, learned, cooperated and organised their societies and economies, and the regeneration transitions that could shape the future.
Festival 2100 is being developed as a travelling living-learning experience that can take place in different locations around the world, wherever possible beside a river or within a living landscape. Global Care Packs participants join the Festival as trained mentors, working alongside the core Festival team and local communities to turn learning into shared experience and action.
