Resource Title

Exploring Systems: A resource for facilitators of Global Citizenship Education

Summary

This zine provides educators with ideas and tools for building the capacity of groups to make sense of the complex systems in which they exist. If we can make sense of complex systems, we have a better chance of changing (or redesigning) them.

Exploring Systems is a resource for educators who work in non-formal learning contexts such as adult and community education, youth work or voluntary groups.
