This is a 3-day workshop where participants will get to learn how to use the basic tools and practices of the Compassionate Systems framework. 

This workshop will be facilitated by Gustav böll who is the youth coach at the Center for Systems Awareness. There will also be a presentation on the UN development goals by P.HD. Steen Hildebrandt and an online presentation on Systems worldview by P.HD. Peter Senge.

The Compassionate Systems framework provides a concrete set of tools and practices for young people all over the world to develop this capacity. Drawing on the systems thinking tradition and on research in social-emotional learning and mindfulness, the framework can be used in formal and informal educational settings and helps all individuals to shift the way they interact with others and think about their place in the world. 

This framework was designed by MIT and the Center for Systems Awareness and has been used with great success in a number of schools and education systems around the globe. In the last few months, a need was expressed to train young adults who would introduce the approach to more young people in a wider variety of settings. A Youth Introduction Workshop to Compassionate Systems was thus developed based on the successful workshops that have been delivered at MIT since 2016.
