Information
What does it mean to use a 'systemic approach'? This session will explore the diverse and sometimes contradictory interpretations of system change, systems thinking and systemic approaches. The aim is to lay a foundation for constructive dialogue during the Seminar. Walking through the Agenda, the session also looks to shift the conversation from 'what' systemic approaches are to 'how' to make them work in diverse contexts and with different funding goals.
