Regenerative Pacific Learning Exchange Program
Remembering the past, regenerating the future.
The Regenerative Pacific Learning Exchange is a growing collaboration between Regenerative Vanua and the Regenerative Stewardship Collective.
Rooted in relationships across the Pacific, the exchange program brings together people working in areas such as regenerative agritourism, local food systems, and Vanua-based enterprises. Through shared learning and cultural exchange, participants support one another in creating Regenerative Management Plans that strengthen their local economies while staying grounded in the values of care, reciprocity, and connection to place.
The exchange program offers a way for stewards to reflect on their journey using the Regenerative Verification Program – a simple set of indicators that help track growth and deepen understanding over time.
Rather than relying on the often unstable and extractive models of industrial agriculture and mainstream tourism, this work nurtures alternatives that honour Indigenous knowledge, protect Vanua well-being, and support diverse, locally-rooted ways of living and thriving.
The next learning exchange is in the Northern Rivers, NSW Australia
from 28 September to the 18th of October
You can get involved in this initiative by sponsoring someones place, or by coming to our events during the exchange in the Northern Rivers. They’ll be pop-up shops, Pacific Island cook-ups, kava nights, and weaving demonstrations.
