Toolkit five: Self-guided learning exercises

In this toolkit, we offer eight self-guided exercises to help you go deeper into key topics and skills for catalysing systemic change:

• Experimentation and learning,
• Scaling – especially scaling deep,
• Connecting social and ecological systems approaches,
• Exploring and challenging dominant economic systems,
• Working with uncertainty,
• Understanding and dealing with wicked problems,
• Caring for oneself as a changemaker, and
• Evaluating in complex contexts.

Each worksheet can be downloaded so that you can work offline and at your own pace. And each is only a beginning, but points to resources that can lead you much further, as you are ready to go deeper.
