Ecosystem Leadership Program Asia Pacific
Module 2: Collaborative Impact
Module 2 aims to move from developing existing leadership and changemaker capacities at a personal level to building our collaborative impact.
This module will build on the practices, methods and tools from Module 1. In Module 1 these approaches were focussed more at an individual level; in Module 2 we will see how we can apply them to our institutions, communities, systems and region as a whole.
Module 2 will continue to foster a rich networking among leaders and change agents from across sectors, levels, contexts, nations and cultures, collaboratively creating impact as an ecosystem of practice towards a healthier Asia Pacific and a healthier world.
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 Module 2 we will:
- Build on the powerful concepts, tools and skills for systems change experienced in Module 1 which were focussed more on personal application, moving now towards systems application
- Continue interweaving 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
- Grow and deepen our connections 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
- Deepen our action research around self-generated learning questions, both individually and in learning clusters
- Build and weave ecosystem prototypes and practical applications leading to impact in context, and to regional-level systems change
- Focus on seeing and sensing regenerative transitions and 4.0 ways of working
- Create connections to support our profound transformational journey, aligning with 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
- Continue to deepen our journey while moving from attention into intention and stepping into agency
- Further our explorations of shifting from ‘piecemeal’ responses to our current local, regional and global situations, to inspired and collective ‘peace-full’ action.
The ELP AP program is structured as a cycle of three modules that can be taken independently (see pre-requisites above) or as part of the whole ELP cycle, and which is aligned with the pathways of certification of the u-school for Transformation. (Certification is dependant on participation in the entire event.) Modules 1 & 2 will take place back-to-back in 2025. Module 3 will take place in 2026. You will need to have completed both Module 1 & 2 to take part in Module 3. We are not sure when further Modules will take place after 2026, so we encourage you to have completed both Modules before 2026 if you wish to complete the whole current cycle.
Module 2 is the next 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.
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.
Program Cycle
Overview of Module 2
This module aims to further develop ecosystem impact on a collective level, as we continue ‘transforming ourselves in order to transform our realities’. There will be an increasing focus on moving from attention through intention and on to agency, both individually and collectively.
Module 2 will help us continue connecting to our own highest future potentials as impactful leaders as we develop further individual and collective ecosystem agency. This will help us in guiding our separate countries and our common region to their highest possible contributions to the world as a whole. During this module we will be able to deepen and expand upon the existing rich network of 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 marks the next step on an inclusive, participatory, movement-building journey that integrates the knowledge of head, heart and hands through direct observation, reflection and action; or attention, intention and agency. 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 necessary next step 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 continue to remain committed, where possible, to making the program accessible for anyone from the Asia Pacific who would like to attend: We have a variety of pricing options available as well as scholarships, including a special track with scholarships for those working on landscape restoration in the Asia Pacific (generously provided by the holistic landscape regeneration organisation Commonland). Come and sit with us around this common, regional fire as we continue this transformational ecosystem journey together in order to take the whole of our region–and the world–forward.
This Module 2 can be taken together with Module 1 (or other equivalent in-person programs you might have completed) only, or as part of the whole ELP cycle. As mentioned above, for the complete ELP AP experience we recommend completing the whole cycle of three modules.
What Module 2 Will Provide
- A place to build upon our existing skills and capacities to further transform ourselves, our separate places and our collective region for the betterment of the world as a whole
- A space to continue our collective exploration of cutting-edge perspectives in order to understand and transform systems
- Further development of the leadership and changemaker capacities necessary to help navigate complexity and ‘lead from the emerging future’ by activating our highest potentials in relation to the the world around us

- A three-day immersion in a beautiful, ecologically-focused venue surrounded by nature

- The next step on a profound and collective ecosystem activation and regeneration journey for ourselves, our places, our landscapes, our communities, our region and our world
