Compassionate Systems

Overview

The workshop series has been designed to provide a continuum of learning for people across a range of roles in school, system, and organisational settings. The Discovery workshop provides an entry point for people new to the field, with deep dive learning experiences on offer this year in the areas of learning design, wellbeing, and leadership. The Asia Pacific Community Calls have been established to help connect practitioners to the wider Compassionate Systems community in the region through regular series of online gatherings and webinars. The workshops provides a practical learning pathway for people interested in attending the Introduction to the Compassionate Systems Framework being facilitated in Australia by the Center for systems Awareness later in the year.
