Regenerosity is thrilled to be part of the 2022 Skoll World Forum as an ecosystem partner. Join us for this regenerative panel discussion and experiential group learning.
Regenerosity believes in amplifying whole system solutions that already exist at the local level. Shifting from the old paradigm of transfer of knowledge – North to South, urban to rural, or white to BIPOC -, we have developed a participatory methodology for regenerative development that we practice through peer to peer circles at every level: funding, co-designing, monitoring, storytelling, and learning.
Our panelists will share our peer to peer learning model that creates space for the bottom-up emergence of knowledge, trust, and commitment. After that, we will invite guests to participate in a peer learning circle of their choice. Topics will include trust-based philanthropy, effective storytelling, climate resilience, and inner work.
This session is for anyone interested in creating paradigm shifts, catalyzing change, or advancing social and climate justice. It is for philanthropists, social innovators, entrepreneurs, conveners, organizers, and doers.
Invite your team members, partners, and anyone else you think may benefit from this experience. Everyone that registers will receive a recording of the event and a visual summary of the learnings.
We are looking forward to seeing you on April 8th!

Earth4Ever Conservation Foundation
Earth4ever is a young social organization that works with communities of indigenous farmers living in fragile eco-sensitive zones of Maharashtra, India. We run a Permaculture Demonstration Centre in collaboration with a local farmer, where farmers (especially women) are enabled with the knowledge of regenerative farming practices including soil rejuvenation and water management. Our approach is participatory and we co-design biodiverse Food Forests and Kitchen Gardens along with the community. We aim to create resilience in the areas of food and health security and income generation, leading to mitigation of the effects of climate change, and regeneration of the local ecology.
YICE is a social organization in Uganda that implements practical regenerative farming activities targeting last mile smallholder female and young refugee farmers in rural Uganda. The goal of our intervention is three fold; to promote food security, to regenerate biodiversity and achieve climate change adaptation, and improve incomes for smallholder farmers. We implement community-led activities; such as: Practical farmer training in permaculture and regenerative farming, training in water harvesting, production of mobile low cost drip irrigation kit, production of organic fertilizers and mobilizing beneficiaries into savings groups.
