Working Title of The Project (which we will use to refer to it throughout the series)

Regenerative Cultures Community of Practice (2023)

Project Location

Berlin

Nature of The Project (e.g. building, new community, economic development, etc.)

Building a community of learners that shares the common purpose of (un)learning and be in practice together. Our collective: how can we embody and practice a regenerative culture in the societal transformation processes/spaces/community we are actively creating?

The long-term vision is to explore the potential of becoming a community of local actors that self-organise and take active responsibility both to sustain the leanring space as well as to connect and mutually-support each other across the diverse struggles we are active in.

Why do you think this project is appropriate for the course assignment?

Project aims at creating peer-learning exchange among people (facilitators, activists, artists, change-makers, social innovators, ..) dedicated to bringing regenerative approaches in social transformation processes.

Additional Useful Information

This is a monthly in-person community event that takes place in Berlin, during these sessions, we learn from each other and experiment activating our multiple intelligences using creative practices such as body-movement and somatics, voice and breathing, theatre and performing, collective reading, cooking together, and creative writing. Together we engage in a process of collective learning and deepening our regenerative competencies that we wish to bring into the communities, activists and societal transformation processes.
