REGENERATIVE EDUCATION
The African Way Regenerative Education Program was developed in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goal "Quality Education" - SDG 4 of the UN.
Hybrid education and learning ecosystem developed to complement formal education, the organization and governance of informal education based on the Spirit of Ndanifor hands-on learning by doing concept; building equitable and inclusive educational ecosystems.
We explore the place of hands-on education, volunteering, internships and apprenticeships in wider society for strengthening common ethics and values in education for future generations.
The main objective of this program is to create a hybrid education and learning ecosystem for sustainable development, that is equitable and inclusive, which fosters the co-construction of knowledge and of pedagogical communities through trust-based relationships between the Global South and the Global North, with emphasis on the relationships established through the youth and women, based on the Spirit of Ndanifor’s learning-by-doing concept.
In addition, we also aim to:

In this education program, African Way focuses on mainstreaming gender, social equity and resilience.
Through International Summer Work Camp and Bioregional Ecovillage Design Education EDE, Ndanifor Permaculture Ecovillage developed traditional skills and soft skills for critical thinking, system’s thinking based on empathy for the future of literacy.
