International Permaculture Conference and Convergence in Taiwan
|
|
The Ethos Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign to help cover her travel costs (see details here). If you can chip in or spread the word to others who might help, that would be amazing. Contributions will not only make her journey possible but also help her share inspiring permaculture stories from Uganda, connect with other leaders and organisations, potentially bringing support for permaculture projects in East Africa.

Remote teams, Regeneration and the Role of Place
|
A core element of regeneration is the connection to place. This can often feel difficult to reconcile with the global, interconnected world we live in. Teams working on regeneration who also work globally and remotely, live with this paradox. How can we, as individuals and organizations, become rooted in place, while also valuing global interconnectedness? Especially when much of our work life is based on remote collaboration?
Unearthodox and Greaterthan have been grappling with these questions since their inception, and are looking to open a conversation with other organizations who are too. As part of Unearthodox's current work on Regenerative Futures, we seek to 'learn out loud' and create spaces for connection, learning, knowledge and experience sharing, together with other teams working at the intersection of remote and place-based work. If this topic speaks to you, please join us!
In this session, you will hear from a set of organizations working with this challenge and be able to listen in to them sharing knowledge with each other. You will also have the opportunity to connect with other participants and actively contribute to the discussion (in breakouts and asynchronous sharing) at the beginning and end.
Tuesday 3 Sep - 18:00 - 19:30 CEST.
