​DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: 17 September​ 2021
​Climate change is not an abstract concept. It is already changing the livelihoods, lives and future potential of everyone, and will particularly impact on the lives of children and young people. While the urgent need for carbon (CO2) reduction is well known, the potential to mitigate, adapt, and even cool the earth through regenerative practices has not been widely discussed or shared.
​There are people, organisations and communities all over the world who are working with soil and water cycles in natural systems to transform harmful practices and restore Earth’s health. We want to share these stories, practices and approaches that have the potential for climate cooling with as many people as possible. 

Do you have such a story that you would like to offer to this Barefoot Guide?

We are looking for people who want to share their experience, knowledge and work with nature to address climate change.
​We would like to hear from you if you:
  • ​Have knowledge of natural systems and how to work with regenerative practices to address climate change.
  • Have lived experiences and practice of mitigating or adapting to climate change through working with nature (soil, air and water cycles).
  • Have experience in working with communities on behavioural change in their relationship to climate change and the Earth.
  • Are an illustrator or graphic artist who wants to help develop creative insights and compelling images about climate change and climate cooling.

The Barefoot Guide's transformative process… shows us the way to transcend borders, sectors, limits, to break the silos! 
Vincent Stevaux, ITECO, Bruxelles

Barefoot Guide has been creating phenomenal content for the critical process of experiential reflection at both individual and organizational levels. 
Jesse Chen, Changemakers, Washington 

…a wonderful contribution to open access knowledge, grounded on a great depth of experience and horizontal learning from across the world. 
Samantha Button, East Africa Program Head, Maliasili 

…the Barefoot Guide collection is having a great influence, especially the lives of field workers and communities. 
Muta Wakilu Tamasco, Ghana 

The Barefoot Guide Connection has a unique and truly transformational approach to collaboration, learning and facilitating social, transformational change across borders. 
Tobias Troll Director, EDGE Europe at EDGE Funders Alliance, Bruxelles 

This unusual and exceptional volume (and series) is hugely accessible yet deeply rooted in solid theory and extensive practice across a wide range of contexts and fields. Expect from it something truly unique in its combination of insight, reflection, experience and highly usable mixed text/visual presentation. It is not "dumbed down." I have seen it bite as deeply at high academic and professional level as at grassroots community leadership level, an astonishing achievement worth honouring. 
Professor Jim Cochrane Cape Town
