Generation Restoration Roundtable 2024 in Uganda
On August 19th, 2024, Generation Restoration e.V. organized a roundtable with 30 participants from various organizations at the Social Innovation Academy (SINA) in Mpigi, Uganda. Generation Restoration e.V. aims to actively serve as a bridge builder, connecting and supporting the inspiring initiatives that exist within marginalized groups, including both refugees and host communities. Harnessing the experience of grassroots actors, combining common approaches or objectives, framing those for standard-setting, and – ultimately – approaching international organizations for policy definitions are at the forefront of Generation Restoration e.V’s efforts. «What if we could transform refugee camps into regenerative communities?» The first in-person roundtable marks the beginning of a series of discussions eagerly dedicated to bringing this vision to life. Hence, the question, «What if we could transform refugee camps into regenerative communities?» is not merely preceding its question mark, it is a provocative statement of which its positive effects have been identified and seized to grow by all participants present at the roundtable.
