About Bright Green Learning
Helping people collaborate for change — since 2009
We’re a small, purpose-driven team of facilitators, learning designers, and process consultants. Since 2009, we’ve partnered with mission-led groups in over 90 countries, helping them navigate complexity, build alignment, and move from talk to action.
We’re grounded in the belief that collaboration is essential for solving big challenges — from climate action to social equity. We bring that belief into every workshop, strategy session, and learning programme we design.
We design and build capacity for lasting impact.
