After a very successful pilot earlier in the year, we're delighted to announce we are running a second Beyond Polarisation programme in early Summer 2024. We are seeing an ever increasing flow of polarisation in human cultural systems.?Whether in politics where countries are swinging from left-orientation to right-orientation with increasing frequency, or in general culture where the drive for certainty in an uncertain world is pushing people into every more rigid positions.?From cancel culture to the determined pursuit of 100% responsibility or blame on opposite sides of conflict, polarisation is a handbreak on our potential to move forward to a regenerative future. Our traditional approaches of compromise and conflict resolution offer only temporary patches on the deep fractures in our society.?We need approaches that reach down to the root causes of our separation, and heal them through finding new future-focused perspectives. A different way is possible. A reconciling pathway which opens up the potential of a new way of seeing the future and relating to each other. Come and explore practical and effective approaches beyond conflict resolution and compromise! We are open for earlybird registrations now! https://lnkd.in/ebpVUGsZ

Rocks in the road, challenges of change, communities without voice, are just some of the experiences we face in work?- especially when we are trying to bring diversity of thought and multiplicity of perspectives into dialogue. Sometimes, before we even get to the table,?the range of ideas have already been polarised into a ‘this’ or a ‘that’ with no space left for something new to emerge. Beyond Polarisation offers a deep dive into regenerative approaches to reconciling - from simple to complex - whether it’s for an organisation going through change, a new project that is finding its shape, or an inquiry that has reached an impasse. Really Regenerative CIC's learning journeys are crafted to blend the supporting theories with practical applications, and help to evolve the practice of regenerative reflection.?You can Find out more on the website and the post below. https://lnkd.in/eD_g85rY

As the new school year begins, let's take a moment to consider the impact we have on our students’ future. #NetZero schools could be a significant advancement toward sustainability. These schools not only contribute to environmental preservation but also offer substantial savings on energy costs, allowing for increased investment in our teachers and educational resources. Here’s to a productive and impactful school year, fostering both educational excellence and positive environmental change! #BackToSchool

High-quality, reliable #publictransport is essential to all cities, especially in lower- and middle-income countries where it is often the only accessible mobility option for millions of people. High-quality transport is also critical to addressing the growing issues of emissions, congestion, inequality, and traffic violence that is most associated with an increase in?private vehicles and driving.?Four years ago, however, the #COVID19pandemic led to clear and significant impacts on public transport systems in cities worldwide. As the pandemic’s public health concerns limited the mobility of many, the?International Energy Agency (#IEA)?reported a nearly 50% fall in global road transport activity in the first few months of the crisis. Years later and post-pandemic, many public transport systems continue to face a decline in funding, labor, and public resources. At the same time, we still know that public transport is one of the most essential climate and equity solutions for reducing emissions and supporting inclusive mobility in urban life. A better future for our cities also means a future that is built on robust, quality public transport infrastructure and service that acknowledges the diverse needs of all communities. To begin understanding what this future can look like, the MOBILIZE Learning Lab convened experts and?practitioners?to discuss a central question:?How can our urban public transport systems be improved to benefit cities, the environment, and everyday users??Transport and mobility experts and advocates taking part in the Learning Lab used a lens of equity, resilience, and financial #sustainability to ideate around the potential future of public transport in our cities.?The primary conclusions and themes from the Learning Lab sessions are synthesised in a new white paper,?The Future of Public Transport: Well-Funded, Equitable and Resilient, which includes key recommendations for cities seeking to ensure that their transport systems are responsive to the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow. Building on the release of the 2024?Bus Rapid Transit (#BRT) Standard?and ITDP’s?year of the bus, the Learning Lab’s analysis of public transport is also, in many ways, about the future of our bus systems. It is estimated that?more than half?of public transport trips take place on formal and informal bus systems around the world, making buses the backbone of our urban mobility. Thus, it is important to understand the recommendations in the white paper through this lens while it also explores the concept of public transport more broadly. Certainly the ‘future of public transport’ can encompass a wide range of issues, and the Learning Lab chose to focus on themes of equity, resilience, and funding and financing as issues that are relevant and applicable to almost every city and area of public mobility. ??????

Our Foundation's 2024 Award: discover the organizations that pitched to the Jury. ? ???Turning the Tide for NEETs: Post-COVID, the rise of NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) is alarming. Young people, distanced from employment, express deep concerns for our planet and feel a heightened sense of isolation. They’re grappling with precariousness, mental health challenges, and a profound disconnection from work’s meaning, yearning to be part of the solution, not the problem. ????ETRE - Les écoles de la Transition écologique’s Mission: Responding to this, Frédérick Mathis and Mathilde Loisil co-founded ETRE Schools to engage these young minds in ecological issues, offering a path to work that empowers and integrates. Their mission is to place integration at the core of the ecological transition, combining social justice with sustainability. ???Empowerment through Education: They equip NEETs with the green skills needed for tomorrow’s jobs, blending technical know-how with essential soft skills. This not only nurtures a skilled workforce for the green economy but also redefines the work landscape. ???Réseau ETRE’s Ambition: With a broad coalition of stakeholders, Réseau ETRE is set to expand ETRE Schools and standardize green skills, aiming for systemic change through vocational training and advocacy. ? Join them in shaping a future where work and ecological stewardship go hand in hand. #GreenSkills #SocialJustice #EcologicalTransition #RéseauETRE #DegroofPetercamFoundation #SocialImpact #Philanthropy #DPFAward

Meet the Eco-Reps! This past fall, we had the chance to sit down with a few members of the Fall '23 Eco-Reps cohort to learn more about their experiences and opportunities.
