Finding Island Inspiration Around the Globe
A Community Research Journey
Spring 2024
Small Island Big Ideas is Aotea’s festival for the heart and mind.
From Aotea Great Barrier Island, Aotearoa New Zealand – Welcome to Small Island, Big Ideas, an ongoing festival of conversations and events created to take Aotea Great Barrier Island, and possibly the world, forward.
Thanks to input from many of those in our own community, we have scoured the globe to find other small islands, similar in size to our own, who’ve had a big idea that’s led to some sort of radical reinvention.
We are interested in how other small islands are facing the future. How have they acted on a ‘big idea’ that’s transformed their island community in a positive way? We will be sharing those conversations and learnings on for the next few months – one small island at a time.
So let’s get started.
