Global Care Packs
Community Programs
Learning together to strengthen communities and reconnect learning with place
An online and community-based learning program for people interested in building stronger communities, developing local relationships and exploring how regeneration transitions can grow through everyday life.
Learn globally. Practise locally. Build community.
Learn globally
Join online courses, live webinars and small-group discussions with participants from different places.
Practise locally
Take what you are learning into your own community through observation, activities, conversations and local projects.
Connect through experience
Join optional place-based courses and gatherings in Canada, Europe and Southeast Asia.
Two Learning Paths
The program brings together two complementary ways of learning.
Narrative Path
Explore the longer human story and the systems shaping our lives today.
The River System of Human Time provides a map for exploring human development, connection and disconnection, the Anthropocene, and possible regeneration transitions.
Participants encounter different knowledge systems, research, stories and perspectives, then examine them critically together.
Experiential Path
Learn through direct experience where you live.
Walking, stillness, observation, tracking, orientation, mapping and community activities develop awareness of relationships with people, place, living systems and the wider world.
The Seven Directions Compass provides a shared orientation for connecting these experiences with the larger human story.
The Free Online Introduction Course
Discover the ideas, people, and learning pathways behind Thriving Futures 2100 and Global Care Packs through a short introduction that combines storytelling, practical awareness skills, and a simple experiential activity.
Meet the initiating team, explore the foundations of the narrative and experiential learning paths, and take your first steps into a learning journey focused on thriving and regenerative futures.
Living Learning Communities
Explore how people can learn together, strengthen local connections and put regeneration into practice where they live.
Join a Prosocial Partnership Action Community
After the introductory learning, participants can join an ongoing small international learning community. Groups of around 6–8 people meet regularly online, while each person explores and practises within their own community.
Together
Share observations, questions and experiences • explore systems thinking and regenerative economics • compare patterns across different cultures and places • reflect, map and learn together
Where you live
Walk and map your local area, observe ecological and community change, talk with local people, investigate where food or water comes from, practise tracking and awareness, and bring what you discover back to the group.
Rooted in Place, Connected Across the World
Learn locally
Your learning happens partly online and partly wherever you live.
Connect globally
Small international groups compare what they are observing across different communities, cultures and ecosystems.
Build understanding together
Differences between places become part of the learning, helping participants see both local patterns and wider connections.
Festival 2100
Where the learning comes together
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.
Festivals 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.
