Regenerative Design 101
We’re facing complex, urgent challenges - from ecological collapse to social fragmentation. Traditional design methods, even sustainable ones, aren’t enough.
Regenerative Design 101 is a hands-on, beginner-friendly course that will transform how you think about design, innovation and impact. Across four weekly sessions, you’ll explore what it means to design in ways that restore ecosystems, build community resilience, and unlock potential at every level.
You’ll Learn How To:
Understand what regenerative design is (and how it differs from sustainable and circular design)
Explore real-world examples that are already regenerating communities, environments and economies
Recognise key principles of regenerative systems
Move from user-centred to system-centred design thinking
Apply tools like stakeholder ecology maps, regenerative value loops and nested systems thinking
See services, systems and businesses as living, evolving ecosystems
Start thinking about how to apply regenerative to your work, business or local environment
Spot opportunities to shift products, services or strategies from extractive to regenerative
You don’t need a design background. You just need an open mind and the desire to help systems thrive.
