Learning experience design for systems change

THE QUEST

How does one design and facilitate cognitively rich learning experiences that activate people to make change in the world, develop deeper knowledge around systems, sustainability and design, and move from a linear to circular mindset?

THE APPROACH

Co-design and facilitation of an immersive training programme that covered the following:

• Unschool pedagogical framework
• teaching systems thinking, sustainability and creative ideation
• principles of experiential education
• gamified experience design
• cognitive science and designing experiences to maximize learning
• designing learning arcs that affect change
• respectful and empathetic facilitation
• participatory design

THE RESULT 

• A 5 day hands-on program that ran through the cognitive and experiential design tools for hyper-engaging workshops and educative processes, uncovered the unique UnSchool approach and methodology.
• Participants were enabled to practice their experiential design and facilitation skills with a group of supportive peers.
