Strengthening North South Partnerships

To get to a more regenerative future, we need to be able to create true, authentic, co-created partnerships across borders. These need to go beyond a narrow concept of “aid” to the reciprocal exchange of knowledge, wisdom and perspectives. How can we help each other to see the fuller picture, and create truly collaborative partnerships?

Konkankoh is a remarkable indigenous elder from Cameroon, currently based in Portugal as he had to flee his country after having spent 30 years developing and building permaculture villages. They were destroyed and he recently fled to Portugal where he is now asking the question: How can all of what I’ve learned help weave new regenerative pathways? How can I bring the African Way to Europe in a mutual respectful way? He’s openly asking our community what the next steps could be so that years of experience and wisdom can be put to use and create regenerative ripples.
