Our Knowledge Collective

Tap into our collective global wisdom

EXPLORE HOW THE TOURISM COLAB AND PLACE ECOLOGIES ARE CO-CREATING AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE

COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE,
COLLECTIVE WISDOM

We believe the best insights emerge when diverse minds come together. Innovation comes from listening to new ideas and alternative ways of looking at challenges. 

 

Our knowledge network opens doors to practical wisdom from those working directly with communities and places worldwide. Through our knowledge network you can connect with local innovators, community leaders, and practitioners who are actively creating change on the ground.

MORE THAN THEORY

​This isn't about abstract ideas—it's about real experience and practical wisdom. Our network brings together diverse voices and lived experiences, creating opportunities to learn from those doing the work day by day.

Gone are the days of top-down expertise. We know that true wisdom lives in the combination of lived experience, local knowledge, and practical innovation. Through our global collective, we can bring together:

  • Local wisdom keepers

  • Community changemakers

  • Tourism innovators

  • Environmental stewards

  • Place-based practitioners

  • Global thought leaders

KNOWLEDGE FLOWS & LEARNING LIKE NATURE

Just as mycelial networks connect and nourish entire forests, our knowledge network creates vital opportunities to share information, energy, and inspiration across boundaries. We link practitioners with policymakers, thinkers with doers, and global insights with local action. 

Through our collective knowledge network, wisdom flows freely with the aims of:

  • Grounding policy in local experience

  • Providing a place where theory meets practice

  • Showcasing local innovations so that they spread globally

  • Demonstrating the value of different ways of knowing and scaling​

​​

Like nature's own networks, our ambition is to create pathways for knowledge to flow where it's needed most, nurturing new possibilities and fostering resilience across the system.
