Seeing the Whole: Systems Thinking for Social Innovation with Hunter Hub and MRU Institute for Community Prosperity

Social challenges are rarely isolated problems. They emerge from complex relationships, structures, and behaviours that shape how communities and systems evolve. This interactive workshop introduces systems thinking as a practical approach for understanding that complexity and identifying opportunities for meaningful innovation.

Participants will explore tools and concepts for mapping systems, identifying patterns and leverage points, and moving beyond symptoms toward the underlying conditions that shape social challenges.

Through hands-on activities, this workshop will connect systems thinking to the design and development of innovative responses that can create change.
