Unearthodox connects systems change and social innovation to address complex environmental issues and regenerate nature. We co-create with innovators, investors and organisations to find and support untapped resources and solutions for nature and people to thrive together. We believe in looking beyond immediate fixes or short-term solutions, but rather act collectively with others now for longer-term transformation – from the way systems work today to the way we hope they could work in the future.
What does regeneration mean to you?
The Voices of Regeneration call for creative entries dares you to dream of a more just, equitable and inclusive world where nature, including people, thrives together. Whatever your practice – writing, art, video, design, sound – we welcome digital submissions that imagine a journey towards a renewed, flourishing planet for all.
With our open call, we invite you to join us in creating a regenerative tapestry that embraces multiple, diverse worldviews that look beyond sustainability. Together your ideas and stories will create a picture of thriving and reimagined relationships among all living things.
