The Rescope Programme
Reconnecting with Nature and Culture
The younger generations are the future custodians of the planet’s resources and many initiatives must be taken to educate them for sustainable development and also to improve the present situations of food and nutrition insecurity, and environmental degradation. Such initiatives include the Schools and Colleges Permaculture (SCOPE) Programmes which are promoting the whole school approach and food forests in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe with more countries poised to join in. The SCOPE Programmes have linked up to form a regional network that is amplifying their voice and is strengthening this critical work which brings together the learners, teachers and community stakeholders such as farmers and traditional leaders.
In addition, the Regional Schools and Colleges Permaculture (ReSCOPE) Programme has been established to promote the sharing of experiences by partners who are committed to assisting schools and colleges to demonstrate sustainable land use with a view of enhancing healthy environments in and out of school.
The ReSCOPE Programme is advocating for the integration of the principles of Agroecology across the curriculum at all levels of the education system.

We will apply the facilitation methodology of powerful conversations, as we explore how to create resilient communities from schools, the systemic patterns that enable this work to expand, and the steps for schools to integrate Education for Sustainability.
