Between Amman and Tunis, we stayed connected through a series of online sessions. We continued exchanging on our experiments – sharing reflections from discussions within our teams, offering and receiving feedback, and learning from one another’s experiments and questions. These moments helped us stay close to the questions we were each exploring, while also building a shared sense of movement across the group.

By the time we gathered again in Tunis, we were not picking up where we left off – instead, we were continuing a journey already in motion.

In May 2025, we reconvened in Tunis for the second chapter of our learning journey: a space to reflect, slow down, and explore what had begun to take shape since Amman. Each organization arrived carrying experiences, insights, and questions gathered over months of testing new approaches in their own contexts.

While our first meeting in Amman focused on shifting perspectives – from organizational logic to ecosystem health – Tunis was about slowing down and noticing what is starting to emerge. 

Over three days, we shared stories of learning and experimentation, tested new tools, and explored the old Medina through a fractal lens (link). We held conversations about care, capacity, exhaustion – and what sustains us. Guiding questions included:

• What roles and patterns – however small – are already generating shifts in our organizations and contexts?
• What are the support structures that we need – and where might they already be taking root?
• What are some shared questions we carry as we move forward?

As we look ahead, the next step in our shared journey will take us to Cairo in November 2025, where we will continue building on these learnings and exploring what it takes to sustain and scale emerging practices.
