Pollinating Regeneration: Structuring phase

"In the structuring phase, we listen deeply to the participating communities and make sure their ideas are clear, so that anyone can understand the challenges that motivated those ideas, the strength of the planned activities and the desires behind the future impacts!"

Check what we've been learning as we structure the communities' ideas:

Do you and your community already have clear ideas on activities with positive socio-environmental impact? Come pollinate!

"After the learnings in the first round of Pollinating Regeneration, we're opening a new round, this time for ideas clearly elaborated by the communities."
