From Consumer to Contributor: ReGeneration27 at Green School Bali

When we first visited Green School Bali, what stayed with us was the relationship between the school and its surroundings. Learning seemed inseparable from its nature context and the community around it. This links to a question we often return to at Rocket: can we talk about human flourishing without considering the wider living systems to which we belong? There is a great deal to admire in a school without walls, but we have never believed in simply copying a model from one context and pasting it in another.

In February 2027, our professional curiosity will take a more practical form when Winsy Flores, Rocket Productions’ Global Director of Education and Innovation, speaks at ReGeneration27 at Green School Bali, presenting From Consumer to Contributor. We will explore findings from Rocket's work on what we call 'circular creativity' and material intelligence, through past projects based on human flourishing, ecological thinking and sustainability such as our ReLove Revolution and More Than Human practitioner-led case studies carried out at our London Pre-Preps. 

Rocket’s workshop will invite international educators to rethink children's relationship with the materials and objects they use and discard. What happens when a child is given the tools, trust and time to repair, redesign or contribute something back? These are questions we have been testing through real projects with young children. Bali offers a chance to share that work, and, just as importantly, discover what other communities are noticing.
