Catalyst: Sustainable Cities – Responsible Leadership
An intensive, six-day Sustainable Cities – Responsible Leadership course aimsg at increasing the capacities of practitioners to walk through the complexity underlying current processes of socio-technological transition in European cities. The course will equip you with tools, knowledge and skills to lead your own innovative and transformative projects. As a result you will know how to develop and implement your own initiative and adapt effective solutions.
The experts will share their know-how on transformative processes carried out in specific sub-systems (such as energy, mobility, waste and water) and show how those sub-systems intertwine in a broader context of a city. An intrinsic part of the course is an intensive e-learning support (pre and after the course).
The basis for the experiential learning is the Energy Transition Game developed by the Centre for Systems Solutions. The open game environment recreates the most important aspects of real-world energy transition processes, allowing the participants to try out various strategies and their effects in a complex multi-actor system.
You will gain competencies to define your problem, find possible solutions, and apply transition thinking to initiate changes in practice.
In particular you will:
- understand the dynamics in complex systems such as cities,
- identify the barriers to innovation and learn how to overcome them,
- know how to design and run innovation processes relying on cutting-edge tools,
- gain new perspectives and insights into your own project,
- learn from international experts and transformative projects case studies,
- build a professional network of innovative change leaders which will continue beyond the course.
The course is geared towards participants with thefollowing background:
- sustainable business – sustainability managers,
