13. Changemakers for sustainability
“Leadership is about learning how to shape
the future and about creating new realities” .
Senge (1998)
“Everyone can be a changemaker.”
Drayton (2006)

14. Research Questions:
Primary Question:
What tool can we design for individuals to become a
sustainability changemaker, regardless of their
accessibility to institutionalized programs, which reflects
the assumptions of the leading-edge learning programs
for changemakers?”
Secondary Question:
Which of the assumptions that guide the design of
some of the leading-edge learning programs for
changemakers best serve for everyone to become a
sustainability changemaker?

41. Assumptions

42. Key Assumptions for Sustainability Changemakers KP MTA YIP MSLS
Human Society is facing a Sustainability challenge, represented by the metaphore of a Funnel
The deeper root cause of unsustainability is the sense of “separation” embedded in the
reductionist mechanistic world view.
Success is defined as a sustainable society living within the four sustainability principles
A backcasting from sustainability principles perspective can help society to move strategically
towards sustainability
Self-motivation and initiative: Learning must be purposeful, meaningful
Learning should be connected with personal self-development, self-identity and vision
Trust in participants: Social systems have the capacity to self-organize themselves.
Challenging the mental construction of self, the world, and their relationship expands
awareness
Collaboration: Peer learning, Team Learning and Team work helps a fruitful learning
Learning happens through an experiential learning cycle: learning by doing connected with
real life
Fostering and holding a safe fertile space, providing basic tools facilitates learning from taking
risks and making mistakes
Learners’s Self is the primary resource for learning: both intuition and logic are necessary
Learning is deeper and more authentic when head, heart and hands are integrated
There is diversity in learning styles and how people process new ideas and knowledge, so
learning experiences should be inclusive with that diversity
Learners need a non-judgemental space where they can open their heart to connect
with what really matters for them

43. IT’S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!

44. YOUR JOURNEY

45. Collective Shuffling
Random walk
And exchange cards
Don´t read them yet!!

46. Grounding practice:
Breath
Imagine yourself in front of a blank canvas
Bring the presence of someone special for
you, may be a mentor or a spiritual master
(you already know who)

47. What do I need to learn today?
What is my burning question today?
Free individual writing /drawing
Go with the flow. Don’t think. Let it flow.

48. What is my gift for the world?
What future wants to emerge through me?
What are those seeds of future waiting to be born?

49. Now take a card
and reflect on its meaning.
If it has no meaning for you,
Try with another card

50. Silence

51. Collective mindmapping
Express yourself
Draw whatever emerges

52. Final circle:
What happened
Aha moments?
What did I discover about me and my work?
What is my next step?
What am I going to do with what I learnt?
How can we keep connected?

64. 4 sustainability principles
In a sustainable society, people
...are not subject to conditions that
undermine their capacity to meet their needs
And nature is not subject to the sistematical increase of
...concentrations of substances
extracted from the Earth crust,
...concentration of substances produced
by that society,
...degradation by phisical means.
