Content: Creating a Simple Systems Map (I1/I2) Marc's mapping exercise See [[Systems Certification]]

For examples see [[Kid's Mind Maps]]

Intention:

• To enable students to see that they are already systems thinkers
• To identify a system of focus (something they want to see change)

Materials: Pens, Paper, Post its, Whiteboard?

Questions:

• Should this be an individual exercise or a team?
• Should the focus be open or directed? eg Think of something in your community that you value/ you'd like to change/ a problem you've noticed.
• Should it be very directed eg create a mission statement for your community.
• This can be tee'd up at the end of week 1. They can be directed to talk to their family and friends about this.

Risks and mitigation: xxxx See [[Observations SyS 1]] for captured points during session.
