Map the System (MTS) Alumni Call
For former MTS student participants only
This student-led session will begin with a short panel featuring several Map the System (MtS) alumni sharing what the experience meant to them, what stayed with them, and how it has shaped the way they approach complex problems since.
After the panel, we will open the space for an informal discussion. It’s meant to be a conversation, not a presentation. We are hoping to hear what you loved, what you wish you had more support around, and what questions you are still carrying in your systems thinking journey.
Your insights will help shape future learning opportunities and ongoing MtS alumni engagement. Whether you have stayed deeply involved in systems work or simply notice yourself thinking differently because of MtS, your perspective matters.
Come share your experience, reconnect with the community, and reflect on the impact MtS had beyond the competition.
This will be a closed space only for MTS alumni to join. Nick Gregg from the Skoll Centre and Daniela Papi-Thornton from SCEU will open the call for less than 10 minutes and then they will drop off so the space can be just for alumni to connect and share their ideas and feedback openly.
Times listed here are Mountain Time (MST) / UTC-7. Click here to use WorldTimeBuddy to find the time in your timezone.
The Future is Collective with Niloufar Khonsari
Join us for this 75 minute Australasia/Asia timezone friendly talk by author Niloufar Khonsari!
In this book talk, Niloufar Khonsari will share reflections from her new book The Future Is Collective – an exploration of how we might build workplaces that feel more aligned with our values. Drawing from over two decades in social justice movements and nonprofit leadership, Nilou will offer stories, lessons learned, and a few practical frameworks for sharing power more intentionally. This won’t be a step-by-step workshop, but an honest conversation about moving from strict hierarchy toward more participatory and caring ways of working.
Together, we’ll reflect on questions many of us are carrying: How do we create workplaces where people genuinely feel valued and trusted? How do we align our internal practices with the change we want to see in the world? And what does leadership look like when it is rooted in care? Expect a thoughtful, grounded, and relatable conversation – one that offers inspiration, some concrete takeaways, and space to imagine what’s possible for your own organization or community.

The 5Rs Framework: Help Set it Free
Join us for this 90-minute session with Tjip Walker!
Please note that this session will be 60 minutes of content and 30 minutes of conversation / integration / Q&A. No need to stay for the entire time if it doesn't work for your schedule!
From its introduction in 2016, the 5Rs Framework has been explicitly tied to USAID’s programming processes and the agency’s focus on international development. But it doesn’t need to be. With the demise of USAID, the time has come to decouple the 5Rs from USAID and set it free. And you can help.
Tjip Walker, the creator of the 5Rs Framework, is currently leading an effort to revise and update the framework and its companion application guide to make it more usable to systems practitioners of all stripes. He will join us on Thursday, March 19 at 1:00 PM EDT to share the journey of the 5Rs to date—its origins, dissemination and applications—and his thoughts on the next iteration. But Tjip also wants to hear from us as many of us are now using the 5Rs in our classrooms and boardrooms.
We look forward to having you join this conversation. Learn about the 5Rs and how it might be useful in your systems understanding work. And provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what changes you would like to see in an updated version.
Dr. S. Tjip Walker is a recognized international development thought leader, an accomplished systems practitioner, and currently director of The Systems Practice Lab, a consultancy dedicated to applying systems thinking to complex social problems. He is also currently the chair of the American Evaluation Association’s Topical Interest Group focused on Systems Evaluation (SETIG) and a member of the steering committee of the Local Systems Community, an international community of practitioners leveraging systems insights in support of positive change.

Start with Who Is Trying to Change the System? with Mentor Dida
We're so excited about this talk with Mentor Dida! Here is his description of the 60-minute session:
We spend so much time talking about how to change systems. But we rarely stop to ask: Who is the one trying to change it?
I grew up during the war in Kosovo. I’ve seen what broken systems do to people. And I’ve also seen what courageous humans can rebuild. Over the years - working with changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and leaders - I’ve noticed something simple but often ignored: The quality of the change we create is directly connected to the identity we carry.
In this 60-minute session, I’ll invite us into a deeper question: Who are we being while we are trying to fix what’s broken?
Through story, reflection, and practical tools, we’ll explore how the way we see ourselves quietly shapes the systems we design, the power we hold, and the change we attempt to create. We’ll look at what it means to expand identity - beyond Me, beyond role, beyond “expert” - so that the change we create comes from wholeness rather than reactivity.
This isn’t a tactical workshop. It’s a grounding one. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of who does our future needs us to be today.

Appreciative Inquiry: Codifying Best Practices for Systems Change Education from the Community with Akash Bhalerao (Asia time-zone friendly opportunity)
SCEU member Akash Bhalerao will facilitate this interactive 60-minute session:
Now that we are all gathered, and the engagement momentum picks up, I (Akash) would love to use this session to kick off an appreciative inquiry. An inquiry rooted in the quest for peer learning and in codifying insights and best practices for the larger ecosystem on how systems change educators in this network have been using in their practice/teaching.
We can spend time sharing curiosities, as well as resources/practices we are already using. These insights will support us in creating the research design we can use to learn from the larger community in the SCEU network.

Unboxing Curriculum with Brian Trelstad from Harvard University & Cheryl Gladu from Thompson Rivers University
For our first SCEU “Unboxing the Curriculum” event, we’re pleased to have Brian Trelstad from Harvard University and Cheryl Gladu from Thompson Rivers University joining us!
Brian and Cheryl will each present a bit about their curriculum and then have an opportunity to answer questions, workshop, solicit feedback, and/or facilitate a conversation about the information they shared. The last 30 minutes of this 90-minute session will be either a bigger group discussion or breakout rooms for topic-specific conversations… we’ll workshop this format and set-up together!
Here is a bit about the course and/or projects that Brian and Cheryl will bring to the session:
Brian shared that he'll bring the following course to talk about: Social Entrepreneurship & Systems Change (SESC): Social entrepreneurs don’t just build organizations, they change systems. This course will explore the frameworks, tools, mindsets, and best practices that successful social entrepreneurs use to maximize their impact not just through the direct delivery of the products or services of an organization, but through the systems level work that collaborate to achieve. The course looks at social entrepreneurship through the lens of traditional social entrepreneurship and asks how people motivated by disrupting entrenched and often inequitable systems need different skills and mindsets to be effective. SESC takes a deep dive into how social entrepreneurs can become systems entrepreneurs by developing a coherent systems strategy, collaborating with others, building power, and mobilizing change. // We [Brian] have put the course on Harvard X: Social Entrepreneurship & Systems Change, and a link to that can be found here. It is a compressed version of the MBA course using a subset of the same cases offered free and also at a cost for a Harvard X certificate of completion.
Cheryl shared that she’ll bring the following courses to talk about: Course projects that I’ve incorporated into my Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Grad) and Creativity and Innovation (Undergrad) courses. I also have two courses in development that I would like to workshop, if possible. I’d love to learn from others and incorporate that in my current thinking on those classes – one is “Systems Thinking in Wildfire Management,” which is part of a specialized certificate we are offering starting Fall 2026, to support training and leadership in wildfire management (a hot topic in these parts, unfortunately) and the second comes out of my experience with the Creativity class mentioned above… I worked with my colleagues to restructure our Entr program and build a course called “Navigating complexity: Systems thinking as entrepreneurial practice,” which will be vertically integrated into the Creativity course above, providing students with a path to continue their work on thinking and acting on more complex problems.

The Interstitium, Notes on Complexity, and beyond - with Neil Theise
Have you heard about Neil Theise, the pathologist who recently found a new organ system? Well, it's not "new" of course, as it has always been there, but Western Medicine had overlooked it, day after day, until Neil Theise overroad his own confirmation bias and "found" it. Learn the story of the interstitium, why Neil's meditation practice might have contributed to his being able to see what others had missed, and how this relates to complexity and our own ability to see interconnections and patterns in the systems we care about. Neil will speak to his interstitium discovery experience, his book, "Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being" and we'll see what else! Whatever it is, we can't wait!
(Fan girl moment: Over here at SCEU, we (Carolyn & Daniela) did a little dance of joy when Neil said yes to doing this session. We think the interstitium story is an incredible one to help illustrate why systems and complexity skills are essential, and what happens when we overlook them and we both have been following Neil and his work and can't wait to learn from him live! Daniela even wrote a piece about Neil and the interstitium if you want to check it out!)
More about Neil: Neil Theise is a professor of pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Through his scientific research, he has been a pioneer of adult stem cell plasticity and the anatomy of the human interstitium. Dr. Theise’s studies in complexity theory have led to interdisciplinary collaborations in fields such as integrative medicine, consciousness studies, and science-religion dialogue. He is a long time student of Zen Buddhism with the Village Zendo in NYC.

The 5Rs in the Wild: The 55 Minutes, Map the System, and Challenging Theories of Change
This event is hosted by LSC (2.0) on Google Meet -- and they have invited SCEU members to join!
Daniela Papi-Thornton, an educator who works at the intersection of social innovation and systems (and a member of the LSC!), found the 5Rs Framework on her own and has become a big fan. She included it in The 55 Minutes, a book-length compendium of tools for listening to systems that she coauthored. She also incorporated it in the Map the System curriculum, a global intercollegiate competition promoting system change. And it informs Daniela’s work on a "Theory of Systems Change," which she hopes will replace the Theory of Change concept that is so widely used in the social sector.
In this presentation, Daniela will describe what she likes about the 5Rs Framework and how it fits within The 55 Minutes compendium and the Map the System curriculum. She will also discuss how the 5Rs fits within her vision of a more systems-informed approach to strategy and measurement better suited for these times.
Daniela has served as a lecturer at many global universities including Oxford, Yale, and University of Colorado, and she runs a global network for systems teaching and learning called Systems. Change. Educators. Unite. (SCEU).

*Postponed - new date tba* Systems Change Education in the K-12 Landscape with Linda Booth Sweeney
Update March 2: This event is being postponed to a date later in March / April / May. We’ll update this event page as soon as we have new information!
Linda Booth Sweeney is a celebrated systems educator who has worked with the youngest learners to the leaders of global foundations. Her work has been formative for many of us in this community, so we are very delighted that she is sharing her brilliance with us directly here at SCEU. Linda has a number of resources to share with us, from books she has written sharing systems thinking with young learners to a range off other educational offerings, but the main focus of her time will be on the "Systems Literacy" resources she helped create with PBS many years ago. She is hoping to advocate to PBS LEARNING MEDIA to reinvest in this and expand them, so she will ask the community to check them out during (or before, if you prefer) the call and share what else we all hope might be included in the future.
Systems Inspired Leadership - SCEU Book Club Discussion
This call is open to all!

What are some of your personal insights that changed your life and that now guide you daily?
Wellbeing in Systems Change Education with Paul Heidebrecht - 2PM MT | 4PM ET
Many of the student changemakers who we have the privilege of working with are quite driven, devoting countless hours to co-curricular activities, pitch competitions, and civic action in addition to their academic commitments. But their ambition can be a double-edged sword: propelling students to make an impact, while also leading to exhaustion and burnout. Moreover, many of these students are personally impacted by the systemic challenges they are seeking to address, and may also be navigating mental health concerns. This workshop will create space for educators to share and reflect on ways we have been equipped to support the wellbeing of our students. Beyond tactics and toolkits, what are our strategies and practices for enabling connection and care?
This workshop will be facilitated by Paul Heidebrecht, the inaugural director of the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement at Conrad Grebel University College and the University of Waterloo. For the past decade the Centre’s Grebel Peace Incubator has supported the founders of start-ups that are pursuing peace and justice, and for the past seven years it has facilitated Waterloo’s participation in Oxford’s Map the System competition. For the past three years, Paul has hosted a working group for staff and faculty colleagues who are interested in expanding perspectives on—and opportunities for—student success in curricular and co-curricular entrepreneurship programs at Waterloo.

The Art of Scaling Deep: Reframing Scale Through Depth, Care, and Cultural Change with Tatiana Fraser - 11AM MT | 1PM ET
In a world obsessed with scaling up, speeding up, and replicating success, what if meaningful transformation is actually slow, relational, and rooted?
This session introduces Scaling Deep—a regenerative approach to systems change that centers cultural depth, healing, and relational coherence. Born from over a decade of inquiry with systems leaders, funders, and movement builders, Scaling Deep offers a reframe: that lasting change grows not through replication, but through deepening roots, relationships, and narrative shifts.
This session is especially relevant for systems educators, changemakers, and practitioners navigating complex spaces—who sense that something deeper is needed, and are ready to name and nourish it.

Re-mind Session with April Adams & Erik Bisanz
Learn with April Adams and Erik Bisanz about their incredible Re-Mind tracks, helping you get unstuck from intense negative emotions or the triggers of past trauma.
This event is hosted by the Unstuck Club, who have invited SCEU to join them for this session. The 90-minute call will provide an opportunity to learn about the Re-Mind tool and how to use it. If you're interested in this session, we recommend joining live as the use of the tool itself won't be recorded (because it is their product). If you can't join the session live but are interested in learning more after watching what *is* recorded, please reach out!
About the session:
Even with years of therapy and self-improvement work, many people find that there are certain issues that stubbornly refuse to resolve. Join Erik Bisanz and April Adams as they introduce you to Re-Mind - tools that unlock your innate human superpowers to flip a reset switch on your most stubborn memories and emotions, in minutes rather than months or years, with results that last.
Erik and April have extensive experience in the world of mental health and emotional healing. Visit https://www.remindproject.ca/ for more info.
