Impact

Oceans Innovation Lab

We're running a holistic innovation lab working with mind, body and spirit to improve the environment and restore the Life Force of the Ocean. The participants in our program will be coming up with innovative solutions to tackling the degredation of our Oceans health. During this they will also be developing themselves and their capability through a unique innovation process that brings together indigenous wisdom, leadership development and systems change processes. They will then be supported to prototype and scale their solutions.


- Each individual who participates experiences personal transformation which may include: a deeper connection with environment, others or self, alternative paradigms to view and understand the world, greater self-awareness, personal healing, deepened self confidence.

- Each individual develops their capability in understanding systems, and creating innovative and effective solutions that have lasting impact. Teams create effective solution concepts and prototypes that can have lasting positive impact on the Ocean along with clear pathway to execute this idea.

- Participants and teams develop relationships with organisations and individuals working to improve the health of the Ocean (particularly an area called Tīkapa moana / The Hauraki Gulf in NZ) including prospective partners and funders to support with execution of their solution.

- Greater awareness in our community and country about the need to protect and care for our environment and particularly our oceans. We are using a thorough impact measurement tool that has been designed and iterate in collaboration with external sources.
