Curated from the Field

An up-to-date database of resources brought together from the fields of systems change and beyond. They take many forms - they might be things to read, watch, listen to, or even practical tools to experiment with in context. In combination, these resources invite people to experience the multiplicity of systems change practice and see the breadth of practitioners, initiatives and organisations working for transformation.

Use it to:

• Browse the breadth and depth of resources related to systems change, or find a specific resource relating to an area of interest.

Learning + Practice Sessions and Series

Learning and practice sessions and series are a multimedia resource that take emerging topics and discourse including organising for social change, governance, and more, into a facilitated discussion to share insights and practices. These sessions include course introductory and deep dive presentations, diagrams and visuals, and complementary recordings of panel discussions with practitioners from around the world.

Use it to:

• Learn more about the topic and hear from those putting the work into practice.

STORIES OF CHANGE

We collaborated with foundations, academics, creatives and others to create Stories of Change, a series of videos and tools for designing and delivering system change practices.

Each story went through a process where we engaged a community of partners to transform these stories of change, through the lens of a particular systems framework, into immersive multimedia videos and facilitated learning experiences. The aim of this project is to create accessible resources to co-learn and help change agents to design more systemic strategies/action.

Use it to:

• Understand stories of systems change throughout history (from the School’s perspective).

NAVIGATION + LEARNING GUIDES

The fields of systems change practice are wide and deep, and there is a limit to what can be covered in School learning journeys alone. Navigation and learning guides are a way of giving access to methods, resources, workbooks, guides and activities that may support participants’ ongoing reflection and action beyond the boundaries of the in-person element of the learning journey. The School creates these guides to enable participants to explore and re-visit a wide pool of resources to support their ongoing learning.

Use it to:

• Experiment with and reflect on different methods as part of learning journeys.

CASE STUDIES

The purpose of School case studies is to show systems change in practice, highlighting our seven capabilities and to be used within systems change teaching and learning.

The stories: 

• Highlight the inner transformation within individuals that support them strategies, and take action on their change work and navigate the overwhelm and complexities of change.  
• Show what systems change is in different contexts and domains through the how of change – that is the processes and capabilities of systems change.   
• Demonstrate the potential and power of systems change learning and practice. 
• Create authentic resources for the field focuses on the underneath realities of enabling and cultivating change (not just the “glory story”).

Use it to:

• Inspire participants to see systems change in practice across our seven capabilities.

SYSTEMS CHANGE LEARNING HANDBOOK

The Systems Change Learning Handbook is a comprehensive documentation of the School of System Change’s approach to systems change learning. It is designed to support the growing number of facilitators who are taking systems change learning into their networks, organisations, geographies and contexts.

The handbook emerges from a process of harvesting and sense-making held by the School and our collaborative partners, as we co-inquire into how to design and deliver systems change learning. In it, we share the School's multi-method approach and invite facilitators to develop their own modes of design and delivery.

Use it to:

• Design and deliver systems change learning in organisations.
