Learning festival 2020: System Innovation - Why now, why you?

This festival brought together some of the boldest social innovators from around the world and dived into the work of transforming systems to tackle deep social challenges.

“Many of the systems we rely on for care and work, energy and transport, education and health are under pressure to change. Society faces both deeply entrenched and growing challenges that are outpacing the systems we have. We also have opportunities to create new, alternative systems as new knowledge, values and technologies emerge. The first is about optimising what exists, the second is about creating something different and better. We want this Initiative to yield practical insights for those who want to respond to the systemic challenges of today by stepping into the possibilities of the future.”
