IIASA is offering half-day workshops for individual school classes and youth organizations. Each workshop is focusing on a specific topic in systems thinking, with well-defined learning objectives and will have interactive activities based on real situations and the challenge of solving specific tasks during the practical part of the sessions.
At IIASA we believe that thinking in systems is a skill that is essential for dealing with today’s and tomorrow’s complex challenges. We also believe that future leaders need to acquire systems thinking skills as early as possible. Therefore, we not only train graduate and postgraduate students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and professionals but also bring systems thinking to children so that they may develop relevant skills at a point where young people start to think fundamentally about the complexity of the natural and social world they live in.
