Culinary icons Chef William Wongso and Chef Jero Yudhi join forces at Green School Bali for Ignite 2026, an extraordinary fundraising gala celebrating Indonesia’s living heritage and the future of regenerative farming.
On Saturday, October 3, the lush bamboo sanctuary of Green School Bali will set the stage for Ignite 2026, the Green School Foundation’s eighth annual fundraising gala. Centred on the theme Chronicles of Nusantara, this year’s event turns its lens onto the rich soul of the Indonesian archipelago, honouring the deep, intrinsic connection between the land, local agriculture, and ancestral culture.
Far from viewing heritage as a static relic of the past, Ignite 2026 celebrates how the spirit of Nusantara thrives in everyday life. From the natural plant dyes and woven fibres of traditional textiles to the sustainably harvested bamboo shaping modern architecture, the evening reveals how culture takes root in the very soil that sustains it. Guests wandering through the jungle venue will be invited on an immersive journey across the archipelago, discovering interactive spaces, artisan workshops, and live cultural performances that showcase daily island rituals.
