Dear students, graduates, lecturers and partners of Academia,
In collaboration with the University of Oxford, the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Saïd Business School and Grameen Creative Lab, we invite you to an online guest lecture with Nobel laureate and creator of microcredit Professor Yunus.
The online guest lecture will take place on 25 January 2022 at 15:00.
Systems thinking from theory to practice
Academia Institute of Technology Maribor collaborates with the University of Oxford in developing students' knowledge in the field of 'systems thinking', a guiding approach for understanding complex social and environmental challenges. Students are not assessed on the basis of a 'solution' to a problem, but on the basis of the depth of understanding of the problem, including analysis of existing efforts to solve it, gaps in impact and opportunities for positive change. Students create systems maps as a means of articulating their findings in a way that people can meaningfully understand, share and learn from – a set of key skills for those interested in creating systemic social or environmental change.
