A just and regenerative world is possible. The talent to build it is everywhere. The work of making it is for everyone. It will require radical learning.
The Koreo Foundation was established in 2022 as the corporate foundation of Koreo Ltd, a learning consultancy dedicated to imagining and building a more just and regenerative world. The Foundation is an independent charity governed by a combination of independent trustees and Koreo employees, and is chaired by Koreo Founder and CEO Rachel Whale.
Generating research, funding ideas and creating learning programmes that educate and support people to enter, develop and transform the work of social change in the UK, we
Just - We create spaces that are inclusive in which everyone can fully participate, conscious of power dynamics and we seek out diverse forms of knowledge and expertise to inform design and delivery.
Regenerative - We root in and adapt our work to context, considering what we're leaving behind when our work is done and striving to be a catalyst for ongoing change.
Curious - We seek understanding of the context & the wider opportunity, valuing and creating capacity for inquiry and reflection. We work in the open and respond to feedback and evaluation.
Courageous - We have high expectations of the work and the people we are working with, bringing and holding challenges effectively and pushing our practice forward with imagination and experimentation.
Collective - We bring people together around shared learning missions and think about the learning needs of individuals alongside those of the whole, holding the two in balance
