THE STRUCTURED LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The Regenerative Systems Lab

A structured learning experience for understanding complexity, strengthening problem-solving, and responding to sustainability challenges with greater clarity. Adapted for each context — same framework throughout.

PARTICIPANTS LEARN TO

  • → Frame complex problems with greater clarity
  • → Map systems and relationships
  • → Identify feedback loops and patterns
  • → Examine mental models shaping decisions
  • → Find leverage points for change
  • → Design regenerative responses

Grounded in Cornell’s systems thinking framework and UPEACE’s sustainability-centred regenerative leadership approach.

THE LAB IN PRACTICE

Three contexts. One coherent framework.

The Lab is adapted for each institutional setting while retaining a common focus on structured thinking, sustainability, and resilient decision-making.

01

For Schools

Living Systems Learning Lab

Students explore real-world issues through systems thinking, inquiry, place-based awareness, and ecological understanding.

WHAT STUDENTS LEARN TO DO

  • · Understand connections across subjects
  • · Explore cause and effect in real contexts
  • · Relate learning to place and community
  • · Build responsibility and agency

FORMAT

In-school modules · Classroom integration · Interdisciplinary workshops

02

For Universities

Regenerative Systems Lab for Higher Education

Students engage complex problems through systems thinking, interdisciplinary inquiry, and regenerative frameworks applied to real academic contexts.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEARN TO DO

  • · Frame complex problems
  • · Map systems and relationships
  • · Identify feedback loops
  • · Design more resilient responses

FORMAT

University modules · Fellowship labs · Interdisciplinary workshops · Faculty development

03

For Organisations

Regenerative Leadership Lab

Leaders understand complexity, strengthen decision-making, and embed sustainability into the structural logic of how their organisation thinks and decides.

WHAT LEADERS LEARN TO DO

  • · Frame strategic challenges systemically
  • · Surface assumptions shaping decisions
  • · Locate leverage points for change
  • · Build resilient and regenerative responses

FORMAT

Sustainability strategy workshops · Organisational learning sessions · Leadership labs
