**Short Description**
An immersive summer school exploring how we can redesign our economic and social systems for wellbeing and regeneration. Join us for a week of interactive workshops, serious games, and community building in the heart of Brussels. This is a safe laboratory environment where we can explore, test, and experiment with new ideas together — a cocoon for transformation.
**Why should you join? **
Our world is shaped by the stories we tell about the economy. For too long, we’ve accepted a narrative of endless growth, competition, and market logic that leaves us with no time for what truly matters. But what if we put wellbeing, community, and regeneration at the center? This summer school invites you to become an “Architect of Hope” — to imagine, design, and embody new ways of organizing our society, our organizations, and ourselves. It’s time to choose: keep eating yourself in the endless circle, or emerge as something beautiful that serves life?
**Who is this summerschool for?**
Changemakers, students, professionals, and citizens who sense that “business as usual” is not enough
Anyone interested in post-growth, regenerative economics, and new forms of organizing our society
Those who feel lonely in wanting a different story than the “work hard, play hard” culture
Both caterpillars ready to transform and butterflies who want to teach and learn alongside others
Anyone who believes we need to slow down and make time for what truly matters
