Human beings love to learn. Human beings love to play. Why do we primarily act with our linearity-trained mind in a non-linear world? In order to thrive in today's complex world, systems thinking offers a great variety of ways of making sense and taking action together.

Systems thinking - thinking in systems - offers hope for solving wicked problems in many walks of life. Yet most approaches offered as learning environments to embrace systems thinking have been either very "functional" or overly "pedagogical". Play, game and art may also nurture our sense for holistic systems and their complex interrelations, help us identify and understand their components.

In our session we will put core systems thinking principles into practice. We will "perform" and "play" with participants based on a "systems thinking game kit" and co-create with them several gameful interactions. Attendees will get a hands-on, minds-on and hearts-on flow experience of tackling wicked global issues, and will also take away "ready-to-play" ideas and solutions.
