Catalysing the emergence of a human revolution
The Fifth Element is a Club of Rome program that seeks to ask better questions for the future of humanity and learn from communities acting by themselves towards equitable wellbeing within a healthy ecosystem.
It intends to catalyse the conditions for people and organisations — wherever they are — to liberate from constraining frameworks and engage in their own learning processes for regenerative change.
Ultimately, it looks for new syntheses of traditional wisdom, leading-edge science and humanist practices, enabling the emergence of desirable futures in a pluriversal world.
Our story
An invitation
Our name is inspired by Life, the ultimate source of learning. The Fifth Element is a unique quality that comes from the interactions between the four traditional elements: earth, water, wind and fire. We can learn from Life to have new understanding, a worldview that draws equally from indigenous science and leading-edge research.
People of all ages and backgrounds are invited to collaborate and learn how to approach humanity's existential concerns in their own ways as citizens, thinkers, practitioners and learners.
