Short, interactive online session to explore regenerative learning together with youth, educators, and youth organisations across our international consortium.
New Regeneration is building a Virtual Youth Academy to strengthen competencies, critical thinking, and regenerative awareness from local to global perspectives. The Open Session is how you can step into the journey right now. Meet the community, try the learning experience, and discover what comes next.
What you can expect
- 120 minutes, online (live)
- Practical tools, small-group dialogue, and reflection
