Bioregional Accelerator
Rooted in the Landscape
Building islands of coherence in the Mpumalanga Lowveld – where culture, biodiversity, youth & elders weave the future together.
The Bioregional Accelerator supports existing NGOs, youth leaders and community structures instead of creating new ones.
Variety of themes to support NGOs, SMME's, government and local communities:
- Neighbourhood Resilience Hubs
- Cultural Revival & Biodiversity Guardianship
- Local resource mapping
- Women's Leadership & Entrepreneurship
- Regenerative Food & Seed Saving Systems
- Youth & Elder Wisdom Weaving
- Water & Landscape Healing
- Invasive Species to Opportunity
Five Pillars of Transformation
“The importance of the Bioregional Accelerator makes us as the Bushbuckridge community excited to engage as this is the vehicle that will be driving the indigenous knowledge system far much easier in the Bushbuckridge region”

Something worth exploring
Together
One of the most exciting offerings emerging from this programme is something we call a Biocultural Micro-Convening, a small, place-based gathering hosted on or near your site, bringing together a limited number of people from across the bioregion around a theme that matters to your work.
