What is Regeneration26?

Regeneration26 is a youth-led global gathering that celebrates creativity, connection, and collaboration for a better future. Hosted by Green School Bali on April 16-17, 2026, it’s more than a conference – it’s a spark for imagination, dialogue, and real-world action.

Over two days, students and young leaders from around the world will connect, learn, and share ideas to shape the future they want to see. Through interactive workshops, talks, performances, and hands-on experiences, participants will explore how communities can thrive – environmentally, socially, and creatively – in a rapidly changing world.

Set in the heart of Bali’s lush landscape under Green School’s iconic bamboo structures, Regeneration26 brings together local and global communities both in person and virtually.

We invite schools and educators from every background – whether you’re just starting your journey or already leading change – to join this global movement of learning, exchange, inspiration and hope.

Regeneration26

A Global Youth Conference for a Regenerative Future April 16–17, 2026 | Green School, Bali & Virtual bridge From the bamboo heart of Green School Bali, thousands of students and young changemakers come together to turn ideas into action — moving beyond sustainability and into regeneration.

Sustainability helps us protect what remains, but the world now needs renewal. Regeneration goes beyond reducing harm, it’s about restoring and re-energizing the systems that sustain life.

At Green School, regenerative learning moves like nature itself, alive, adaptive, and ever-evolving. Rooted in curiosity, self-awareness, and creativity, it nurtures young people’s capacity to see the world with optimism and to give back more than they take.

Regeneration26 is a call to move beyond maintaining the world as it is, toward actively creating the world as it could be.
