The Lab is shaped by regenerative principles of interdependence, abundance, and emergence, which inform how we design the programme and how we ask participants to engage.
The Regenerative Design Lab is a shared learning space. This agreement sets out what participants can expect from the Lab, what we ask of those taking part, and the conditions that help create a safe, generous, and productive environment for learning together.
By accepting a place on the Regenerative Design Lab, you agree to the following.
1 — The Nature of the Lab
The Regenerative Design Lab is a learning and development programme. It provides tools, frameworks, conversations, and space for reflection to support regenerative thinking and practice. What you take from the Lab will depend on your own context, engagement, and application.
2 — Shared responsibility for learning
Learning in the Lab is interdependent: the quality of the experience emerges from how participants and facilitators engage together through participation, dialogue, and experimentation.
We commit to:
- Designing and facilitating the programme with care, professionalism, and attention
- Creating an inclusive and respectful learning environment
- Sharing our tools, experience, and thinking openly
Participants commit to:
- Engaging in good faith and taking responsibility for their own learning
- Respecting the perspectives, boundaries, and experiences of others
- Approaching discussions with curiosity rather than certainty
3 — Safety, respect and conduct
All participants are expected to contribute to a respectful and supportive environment.
Discriminatory, aggressive, or harmful behaviour is not acceptable. If behaviour undermines the learning space, we may intervene to restore safety. In rare cases, we reserve the right to ask a participant to step away from the programme.
4 — Confidentiality and trust
The Lab works best when people can speak openly.
- You are welcome to share your own learning and insights outside the Lab
- Personal stories or identifiable examples shared by others should not be shared without permission
- We may refer to anonymised themes or learning outcomes to improve the programme or communicate its impact
5 — Programme evolution
The Regenerative Design Lab is intentionally designed for emergence.
Session content, emphasis, or structure may evolve in response to the group and what emerges through the learning process. This adaptability is intentional and part of the programme’s design.
6 — Practicalities: payment and changes
A place on the Regenerative Design Lab is confirmed through the following process:
- We will offer places by email
- Drop us a quick response to confirm whether you intend to take up the place
- To fully accept the place, complete the onboarding form, which includes agreement to this Participation Agreement and provides us with the necessary financial information
- We will then raise an invoice
- We normally ask for payment in advance of the first session. Where organisational processes require additional time (for example, to raise a purchase order), payment terms should be agreed in advance.
Cancellation by participants
- You can withdraw from the programme before the first session without cost. We ask that you give us as much notice as possible to enable people on the waiting list to take your place.
- Once the programme has started refunds are not normally given as we cannot easily fill that place.
- If your circumstances or availability change, we will do our best to offer a place on a future cohort, subject to space and timing.
Changes or cancellations by Constructivist
We take responsibility for delivering the programme as described. If circumstances beyond our control affect delivery — for example, venue issues, facilitator illness, or other unforeseen events — we will act in good faith to find a fair solution.
This may include:
- Rescheduling affected sessions
- Delivering sessions online where appropriate
- Offering alternative dates or formats
- Providing a partial or full refund if a suitable alternative cannot be offered
Our intention is always to minimise disruption and act reasonably towards participants.
7 — Use of materials
Course materials remain the intellectual property of Constructivist. However, throughout the training we provide access to Creative Commons-licensed tools, which we actively encourage you to share with others.
We ask that these materials are used in ways that support learning and capacity-building, rather than extraction or exclusion.
8 — Questions
This agreement is intended to create clarity and trust, not distance.
If anything here feels unclear or concerning, we encourage you to get in touch.
Nothing in this agreement affects your statutory consumer rights. In other words, this agreement does not limit any rights you have under UK consumer law.
