a COLLECTIVE vision for grassroots impact
Our Future Village is a framework with three areas of focus...
A regenerative community diagram + A multi-actor HIVE/hub model + A Roadmap with a game plan
to help us re-imagine, design and build a regenerative future together with our youth.
Our aim is to equip our children, community groups and corporate change makers to co-design and build creative, resilient, adaptable and thriving places for current and future generations to live, learn, work and play in.
