Development cooperation and humanitarian aid take place in a complex, inter-related, non-linear, and constantly changing world. Traditional project design with a linear input-output-impact logic often falls short in addressing these complexities. NGOs trying to address huge problems with limited resources find themselves in a consant cycle of reacting to immediate crises in fragmented ways. Systems Thinking helps to move away from conventional project design and implementation, to deal with the root causes of the challenges at hand and to facilitate the necessary change within the organization and its processes.

The objective of this workshop is to introduce participants to the skills, knowledge, and tools required to apply a systems mindset in their thinking, working practices and decision-making. Participants will gain insight into how to approach upcoming challenges systematically, take multiple perspectives and develop impactful solutions. The workshop tries to connect with current challenges that are changing development cooperation, such as localization and the consequences of the climate crisis.

The agenda of the workshop will respond flexibly to the interests and learning goals of the participants. There will be space for mutual learning and exchange of experience.
