Global Care Packs
For Educators and Teachers
Learning that equips teachers to bring connection, experience and regeneration into the foundations of education systems
The CARE Teacher Programme supports teachers and other educators to bring connected and regenerative experiential learning into classrooms and learning communities.
Educators learn through the Connect & Thrive framework, combining online professional learning, shared inquiry, experiential practice and age-specific programmes for learners aged 6–8, 9–11, 12–14 and 15–17.
The founding CARE Teacher Programme begins in May 2027.
The CARE Teacher Programme supports teachers and other educators to bring Connect & Thrive connected and regenerative experiential learning into classrooms and learning communities. Teachers choose an age-specific programme for learners aged 6–8, 9–11, 12–14 or 15–17, progressing from nature connection and experiential learning through community, cooperation, knowledge systems and regeneration.
Each program provides 21 lessons for a year of learning, with complete lesson plans, student learning packages, activities and supporting resources. Learning combines classroom study with observation, investigation, reflection and direct experience, allowing the program to fit within an existing school timetable while connecting learning with the places where students live.
The founding CARE Teacher Programme begins in May 2027 and runs for approximately three months. It combines online professional learning with a one-week residential experience in the Pyrenees-Mediterranean region. Teachers develop their own experiential practice while learning how to adapt Connect & Thrive to their classrooms and learning communities.
Available for English and ESL learning
The program is available for first-language English learners, with an ESL pathway providing supplementary language-learning materials.

Festival 2100
Where the learning comes together
Festival 2100: Regeneration Economics in Action is being developed as 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 designed to take place in different locations around the world, wherever possible beside a river or within a living landscape. Global Care Packs participants can contribute to Festival learning alongside the core Festival team and local communities, turning learning into shared experience and action.
