The Fifth Element: Learning, Life & the Future — Catalysing Regenerative Systems
Thu 18 Sep 2025, 9:00 am - 10:30 am (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
We live in a world where fragmentation of knowledge and sectors into bubble logics and the imperative of one-dimensional growth have deepened our collective crises from climate breakdown to widening inequality. The Fifth Element, an initiative by the Club of Rome, invites us to reimagine learning not as instruction, but as a living, relational practice rooted in life’s complexity. In a truly regenerative economy, one that fosters inclusive and sustainable prosperity, learning is not secondary to change; it becomes the core element of any strategy and the medium through which change becomes possible. Regenerative organisations, led by regenerative leaders, move their strategy beyond sustainability and circularity toward a net-positive impact on people and planet and they do so by embracing learning at the depth required, not as a silo but as culture in motion.
This session calls upon leaders, professionals, and change-makers of all ages to engage in intergenerational and intercultural learning alliances for regeneration, spaces where ancestral wisdom meets scientific inquiry, and community practice meets systems thinking. Together, we aim to explore how learning that is embedded in life itself can seed the skills, literacies, and worldviews we need to transform our economies and societies.
