SUMMARY:Introduction to Compassionate Systems Framework\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Young people throughout different cultures and circumstances are confronted with the complex contradictions of the interconnected\, interdependent systems in our world (e.g. climate change\, human migration\, terrorism\, substance use\, Covid-19\, etc.). An essential question for the future of education is how do we help students to reflect on\, deeply understand and respond mindfully and compassionately rather than just feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of these systems. With the growing interest in education in social and emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness today\, we feel it is especially timely to show how these can combine with skills in understanding systems and complexity to establish a cognitive and affective foundation for global citizenship. \nThis hands-on workshop is an introduction to the tools and approaches that have been developed for implementing what we call a “Compassionate Systems” framework. A framework that is being used at both the level of classroom innovations and collective leadership in shaping a more generative school culture. We conceptualize compassion as an essentially systemic property of mind: to cultivate compassion is to be able to appreciate the systemic forces that influence people’s actions. It is the capacity to hold paradoxes – to see and sense the larger system with all its interdependence and interconnectedness and all the unintended consequences of human behavior – without judgment but with real care for the system and everyone involved in it. \nThe program will be co-facilitated by Dr. Peter Senge and Dr. Mette Boell\, both of MIT J-WEL and The Center for Systems Awareness. \nRead more >>

SUMMARY:MIT Systems Awareness Lab Conference
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for the first ever MIT Systems Awareness Research Conference\, hosted in Cambridge\, MA\, U.S.A this January 17-19\, 2023. This conference is designed as a research-practitioner learning community\, where science and research partners from MIT and around the world come into conversation with education practitioners involved in ongoing systems change processes aimed at creating more compassionate ways of learning that connect students\, adults and communities in shaping healthier futures. \nFeatured speakers include:\n\n“Towards a Systems Awareness Methodology” – Mette Boell\, Center for Systems Awareness and MIT Systems Awareness Lab \n“Systems Awareness and Equity” – Michael McAfee\, CEO and President Policy Link \n“Interoception and Awareness in the Brain” – John Gabrieli\, Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences\, MIT \n“Compassionate Evidence” – Tyralynn Frazier\, Research Scientist\, SEE Learning\, Emory University \n“Funding Ongoing Systems Change Processes” – LaVerne Evans Srinivasan\, Vice President\, Education\, Carnegie Corporation of New York and Sophie Fanelli\, President\, Stuart Foundation  \n“Play as Learning” – Eric Klopfer\, Professor and Director of the Scheller Teacher Education Program and The Education Arcade\, MIT \n“Reflections on Systems Change” – Peter Senge\, MIT Systems Awareness Lab and Center for Systems Awareness \nSee full agenda for further details. We hope you’ll join us for this innovative research gathering at MIT. \nAbout the Conference\nEducation systems everywhere are under stress\, trapped between a history of Industrial Age priorities and standards and the demands to help societies foster social and ecological well-being and to align with a dynamic workplace that requires greater creativity\, entrepreneurship and collaboration skills.  Students are not engaged by education systems designed for the past when they know they face an uncertain future of climate change\, global migrations and political instability. They know that much of the traditional content of education can now be accessed on-line\, which naturally demands that schools focus on learning that cannot be done remotely.  Yet\, by and large\, schools continue to function as they have – and few people even imagine that the sector of education as a whole could be a primary engine of societal innovation.    \n \nThe MIT Systems Awareness Lab is studying how dedicated communities of educators are advancing important and needed shifts in their education systems.  This conference explores the gaps in our scientific understanding of how communities\, particularly in education\, change over time and create the conditions for more generative social fields – the healthy and thriving classrooms\, workplaces and institutional spaces that contribute to individual and community learning\, development\, and wellbeing.
