Programmes
Inspiring a new generation of resilient leaders
Our CPD accredited ‘train the trainer’ programmes connect educators, youth development facilitators and others to the Routes to Resilience content, working with them to apply its lens and make it relevant to their students whatever the entry point.
The Sygnature Award
Awaken consciousness, nurture confidence and encourage intentional citizenship action
Who it’s for: Young people (13 to 25 years old)
Description: The Sygnature Award consists of three components: Knowledge & Skills, Experience, and Action for Impact. These core components are designed to build upon one another.
Our Sygnature Skills component is a programme of around 80 hours that takes the form of interactive workshops, immersive outdoor learning journeys, online seminars, mentorship and dialogue sessions that give access to thought leaders from across the globe.
The programme seeks to support young people to fulfil their potential as environmentally literate and capable citizens and changemakers, growing young leadership in sustainability practice.
Resilient Futures
Unlocking resilient talent to create sustainable futures
Who it’s for: Young Adults
Description: Routes to Resilience created the Resilient Futures programme to equip young adults and early career professionals with the skills and competencies that will enable them to discover both what they are passionate about and how to identify and excel at careers within which they can lead and drive sustainable change and transformation.
The programme empowers young adults to put sustainability at the heart of their life and work decisions. It readies them for their future lives and livelihoods, developing the strategies and competencies they need to be resilient, agile and adaptable to the nature and speed of emerging change in the context of the world of work.

How our programmes are designed
Our programmes feature engaging, inspiring, and interactive seminars, real-world experiences and encounters with nature. This combination of theory with real-world application provides participants with opportunities for mastering strategies for action. We apply Otto Scharmer’s U-theory, taking participants on a journey from awareness to problem-solving and action.
Learning through real-world encounters
Based on a head (think), heart (feel), hand (do) model, our programmes are founded on place-based eco pedagogy.
This means that students have the opportunity to learn through encounters with nature, community, culture and history.
These guided experiences resonate and build knowledge of how we are interconnected, interdependent and intertwined with the non-human elements of our world.
Students are able to see themselves as part of a larger whole. And as a result, develop a deep understanding of the global context and a perspective on your place within it. This life-changing reflection equips them with the desire, knowledge and tools to make informed and sustainable, life and career choices.
