What is the WeLand?

  • WeLand - Making Sense of Place is a regenerative design thinking process based on the understanding that communities grow integrity by making sense of place, by creating a sense of belonging, It aims to cultivate awareness of natural patterns and act on that awareness through a holistic engagement that listens deeply to the voices of human and other-than-human actors in the landscape. 
  • It is a collaborative design process that engages Community Catalysts in co-creating place-based strategies for regenerative livelihoods - presented as a board game with different phases and decks of practice cards to choose from, according to who, where and why it’s being used.
  • It is a pattern language journey that allows communities to collaborate. (A pattern language is an organised and coherent set of patterns, each of which describes a problem and the core of a solution that can be used in many ways within a specific field of expertise. The term was coined by architect Christopher Alexander and popularised by his 1977 book A Pattern Language).
  • WeLand is based on a whole systems approach, considering the complexity of our existence within a wider whole to create an impact that responds to the complex systemic challenges of our times.
  • It is a process that allows us to test several selected regenerative frameworks - you can learn more about each in the Learning section of the platform.
  • It enhances effective communication, facilitation, alignment and decision making between changemakers within a community, enabling them to shape spaces into places by working together on propelling meaningful social change and community resilience.
