Regional collaboration is one of AktivAsia’s strong points in fighting climate change across Asia. Recently, we took a week to gather and strategise together at AktivAsia’s team gathering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Our members came from different countries: India, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Korea, Pakistan and as Australia. We were skilfully held and expertly guided by facilitators Tracy Frauzel and Neha Saigal from Intertidal Lab.
We sat down together and analysed “big picture” current trends in the countries and region we work and play. From there we co-created more relevant curriculum to support learning, growth and expansion in the Asia region.

AktivAsia has been working on movement building, with a focus on strategic campaigning and climate ecosystem leadership in Asia. Looking forward, we will strengthen our collaboration between our teams and allumni to created more impactful climate action.

Thank to our awesome AktivAsia team members for their energy and input. Also a huge shout out to our new Founding Board Members Ming Yu HAH, Cesar Carlito Baclagon, Tom G., Neha Saigal and Linh Do who kindly joined us at the AktivAsia Team Meeting 2026!
It was so much fun! Added to our core memory already: from morning meditation and reflection to our constructive brainstorming session! We hope our members take the energy and spirit of this special time together and be sustained through this retreat.
