Help power the next phase of the RMIT Regenerative Futures Institute at our Community Forum, closing out our inaugural Energy Futures events season.

Across the season we've explored what it takes to shift from extracting energy to regenerating it – through conversation, making, performance and provocation. Now we want to turn that thinking into lasting connection, and we need your input to do it.

Join us to help build a Community of Practice that brings together anyone with an interest, inside and outside of RMIT, in building a regenerative future. Think of it as community energy in every sense: a network of people generating momentum together and sharing it around. Whether you came to one event or followed the whole season, whether you're a researcher, student, partner or simply curious, there's a place for you in what comes next.

Facilitated by Leyla Acaroglu – designer, sustainability provocateur and UNEP Champion of the Earth – this interactive forum is your chance to co-design how we work together and stay connected long after the season ends. Together we'll explore what a lasting community could look like, how we keep sharing knowledge and energy, and what practical steps come next.
