Interventions
Design for Life Interventions
To help us achieve our Design for Life mission, we have developed a series of mission-led interventions.
These will:
- Unlock the confidence, capabilities and connections of children, learners and entrepreneurs of all ages.
- Innovate across organisations, communitites, industries and regions to achieve regenerative impact.
- Develop and influence the supporting conditions that people, communities and organisations need to drive regenerative change in the long term.
How are we achieving this?
