Immersions & Network
Living Systems for Sustainable Development
The next Immersion will take place from 3 to 5 July in the Geneva area.
You are inspired by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its vision of the future for people and planet, and principles that apply everywhere. You work in contexts that are complex and unpredictable, engaging with many stakeholders and systems. You seek new ways to tackle complex issues. Your responsibilities cut across sectors and disciplines. You are responsible for bringing the 2030 Agenda to life.
It is exciting, absorbing… and not easy!
You want to become more effective as a convenor, curator, enabler and mentor of the people with whom you work. You would like to be accompanied by others with experience who can understand your challenges.
4SD can help. 4SD Immersions and network explore and engage with the 2030 Agenda through the lens of Living Systems. They are designed to help you on your journey as you embrace and navigate complexity, cognition, uncertainty, chaos, dilemmas, emergences and other dimensions inherent to Living Systems.
During a 4SD 3-day residential Immersion you will examine, and reflect on, the context of your work. You will dive into the world of Living Systems. You will become more aware of your own living system and the living systems in which we all participate. You will realize that this enhances your ability to influence and enable purposeful cooperation. You will develop relevant and effective ways to transform your challenges and to lead meaningful and enduring change.
After the Immersion, you will have the opportunity to engage in a Network of practitioners for generative futures. In this Network, 4SD curates and facilitates further on-line interactions between former participants in immersions who are learning from and coaching each other.
