What’s the impact you will help create?
By supporting the Nūl Peace Ride 2025, you are directly contributing to the launch of the Nūl Pilot Project—a bold, community-led initiative that brings together traditional knowledge, sustainable design, and social inclusion to build a 50-acre community hub in Sri Lanka.
Your support will help raise AUD $150,000 to fund five interconnected components—each rooted in local leadership and designed to foster long-term impact through employment, training, cultural revitalisation, and ecological responsibility.

-
A beautiful, hand-built space blending vernacular traditions with modern design will be created by the community. Led by local knowledge and facilitated by architects, designers, and engineers, this space will host storytelling, cultural connection, and art & craft-making, while enabling participants to learn practical skills for future employment and community engagement.
-
Activities will seek to engage with people from multiple sectors of the local communities. This could include sports-based activities to bring isolated school groups together, or theatre practice for breaking down barriers.
-
A small-scale production unit will be established to create bricks, roofing, and other structures using natural, locally sourced materials. Community members will be trained in eco-friendly construction methods—developing practical skills that support future economic initiatives and local entrepreneurship.
-
Two pilot eco-villas will be built by trained local workers using community-made materials. This phase will provide hands-on training and paid employment for 18 people, demonstrating that sustainable housing can be locally led, culturally immersive, and architecturally beautiful—a model that blends design excellence with local knowledge to celebrate place, people, and possibility. This component will also be supported by volunteers, international university placements, and fellowships where appropriate, fostering knowledge exchange and capacity building.
-
8–10 local people will be trained and employed to manage and maintain the site—including hospitality, land care, and community programming. This will lay the foundation for long-term, community-owned enterprises and sustainable livelihoods. Their ongoing employment salaries will be funded through future partnerships and funding secured following the pilot’s success.m description
In a world that feels increasingly divided, it is more important than ever to facilitate connection across local and international divides. The cycle trip makes this possible, creating safe spaces to come together to listen and learn.

An Overview: Nūl Pilot Project
The Nūl Pilot Project is the foundational step in realising Nūl’s long-term aspiration to create an interconnected, innovative, and sustainable community hub in Sri Lanka. Anchored in the principles of education, economics, and equity, this initiative will be supported by funds raised through the Nūl Peace Ride 2025 to launch the first phase of this transformative effort.
This community-led initiative will directly engage and employ local people through participatory design, hands-on training, and the co-creation of essential infrastructure. It marks the first tangible step in developing a 50-acre site into a vibrant centre of social connection, economic resilience, cultural revitalisation, and environmental responsibility—a living example of development that is both inclusive and sustainable.
More than construction, this pilot is a catalyst for community-partnered transformation. It centres the voices, knowledge, and aspirations of local people, investing in their skills, livelihoods, and leadership. Nūl offers a grounded, inclusive, and scalable model—responding to lived realities and laying the foundation for long-term, locally driven change.
