Excited to share that @Nadene Canning and I will be hosting "Inner Dimensions of Climate Action" as part of #LCAW2026. It is an online and interactive session exploring the IDGs through Nature 🦋. Friday, 26 June 2026 (2pm - 3pm BST | 3pm - 4pm CEST) All are welcome. Check out our community calendar or click here for more information.

The title of this United World College (UWC) endorsed online short course intrigued me so much that I applied and… I got accepted as one of 13 villagers entering the experience together! We are a deliberate mix: different continents, countries, genders and ages. Over four weeks, we will imagine the world as a village of 100 people while exploring global inequality, identity, interdependence and citizenship. We are guided by facilitator Kevin Fox, Human Geographer and founder of The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute. Last weekend we had the first two sessions that were all about orientation: meeting the other villagers and looking at/discussing statistics. One thing became immediately clear: we all see through our own lens but often unconsciously adopt a dominant perspective when observing the world. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called it the danger of a single story. I’d call it something more uncomfortable: the quiet acceptance of someone else’s definition of reality. That discomfort sits at the heart of what I want to explore in these four weeks, because the story of global inequality is not an accidental one. It is not a story of some nations simply failing to develop while others succeeded. The opening quote from the World Inequality Report 2026 says it plainly: inequality is a political choice. It is, in many ways, designed. Nations across the Global South are routinely labelled “underdeveloped”; a word that carries the assumption that the people there lack the capacity, financially and intellectually, to lift themselves without the guidance of the Global North. The so-called migration crisis is presented as a stand-alone emergency, stripped of its context: the decades of extraction, interference and deliberate policy choices that created the conditions for it.

Hi Everyone, Nadene and I have been letting our brains bubble around a big question lately: How are we translating inner development into meaningful organizational impact, and what can we learn from one another’s experiences? To do that, we are wanting to co-design a brand-new offering: Organizational Impact Calls. Twice each month, members will open the doors to their organizational practice, sharing real-world experiments, challenges, and successes in applying inner development. Together, we will explore what works, what doesn't, and how we can create greater impact through collective learning. Join the Co-Design Calls: June 9th & 23rd Because this is a space built by practitioners for practitioners, we want to design the details with you. We are hosting two initial community calls to discuss, see who's interested and what your needs are: - Tuesday, June 9th at 12:30 CET - Tuesday, June 23rd at 12:30 CET Note: Both sessions will be recorded if you can't make it live, but we’d love your presence and insights in the room. Let's see what we can create together. Warmly, Sarah & Nadene
