Achara Kelley: Founder of Curiousville and Co-Founder of RegenAsia

In this episode of Leading by Nature, Giles Hutchins is joined by Achara Kelley, Founder of Curiousville and Co-Founder of RegenAsia, for a conversation exploring the future of education in a rapidly changing world.

Achara shares what inspired her to rethink learning after recognising that many children were being taught to memorise information rather than cultivate curiosity and meaningful connection with knowledge. Together, she and Giles explore how the polycrisis facing our world, alongside the rise of AI, is prompting educators, parents and leaders to think differently about what learning is really for.

The conversation also explores emerging trends in education, Achara’s experience of attending Springwood as a self-described “city person”, and the story behind launching RegenAsia as a platform for advancing regenerative thinking across the region.

Achara also reflects on the shift from sustainability to regeneration, and how she has applied practices from Keys for Future-Fit Leadership in her own life and work.
