Phase 2 - Cohort Conversations
Every second week following the core learning sessions, we hold peer-to-peer global conversations.
There is nothing like meeting your global cohort and sharing your learning and reflections on content presented in the previous week. Your peer-to-peer network grows as you meet and discuss the exercises prepared for you each week.
These sessions are designed to deepen your understanding of the course content through exercises, discussion topics, and off-line tasks.

Phase 3 - Capstone Project
The capstone project is designed to bring it all together.
A capstone project is the application of what you have learned in your business, organisation or community. The aim is to transform your learning into lasting impact.
A capstone project is a case study, a model, and an inspiration for others. Choose that project in your bottom drawer, in your organisation, or activate your community. Work in groups or individually. Most importantly, capstone projects ensure learning translates into meaningful change where it matters.
Completion of the capstone project is required to receive the Regenerative Tourism Practitioner Certificate.
