Ecosystem Leadership Program | Asia Pacific 2024

The ELP Asia Pacific is a regional enabling infrastructure—or fireplace—to help activate personal and collective awareness-based transformation and impact in the Asia Pacific, in which we will:

Develop and build on powerful concepts, tools and skills for systems change
Interweave in a rich, diverse and inclusive networking space as part of an impactful and growing movement across the Asia Pacific which fosters and supports an ecosystem of practice
Connect more deeply with our own specific places and contexts of work, both social and natural, as well as see and sense the work that others are doing in the region
Experience a profound transformational journey, connecting to our own individual highest future potential as an impactful leader and changemaker in order to lead our countries and region to their highest possible contributions to the world in our time
Move from ‘piecemeal’ responses to our current local, regional and global situations, to inspired and collective ‘peace-full’ action.

The program is structured as a two-year cycle of three modules that can be taken independently or as part of the whole ELP cycle, which is aligned with the pathways of certification of the u-school for Transformation. (Certification is dependant on participation in the entire event.)

This is the first step of an ecosystem and movement-building journey of action-learning and research in which we will co-create the foundations for a better Asia Pacific for the world, grounded in our specific places, through a new kind of university—a university of the future, here and now—the u-school for Transformation.

Special scholarships provided by the Dutch-based organisation Commonland will be available to those working on landscape restoration projects in the Asia Pacific.

Join us at this collective and collaborative fireplace on one of our global ‘islands of coherence’—Kura Kura Island in Bali, Indonesia—as we take this next step together.

This module, Ecosystem Foundations, aims to further develop existing leadership and changemaker capacities at a personal level, allowing us to continually “transform ourselves in order to transform our realities”, cultivating the inner condition and action confidence needed for awareness-based systems change.

The program will help us individually connect to our own highest future potential as impactful leaders and changemakers, in order to lead our separate countries and our common region to their highest possible contributions to the world as a whole. The module will also foster a rich networking among leaders and change agents from across sectors, areas of work, contexts, professional levels, nations and cultures, collaboratively creating impact as an ecosystem of practice towards a healthier Asia Pacific and a healthier world.

It will provide an inclusive, participatory, movement-building journey that integrates the knowledge of head, heart and hands through direct observation, reflection and action. It will help us move beyond ‘piecemeal’ responses to the challenges of our time, to collaborative, creative and inspired ‘peace-full’ action. It is the first stage of an ecosystem journey for all those innovating in systems, caring for communities and nature, and tending creative fireplaces of deep systemic change across the region.

We are therefore committed, where possible, to making the program accessible for anyone from the Asia Pacific who would like to attend: We have a variety of scholarships available, including a special track with scholarships for those working on landscape restoration in the Asia Pacific. Come and sit with us around this common, regional fire as we begin this transformational ecosystem journey together in order to take the whole of our region–and the world–forward.
