1. SoMA - Systems Thinking and Circularity Bootcamp

Designers and innovators are always dealing with complex systems, from organisations to social issues to change processes. Their work is never as simple as ‘solving a problem’, but instead involves mapping and understanding the systems they work in, and designing strategic interventions to shift the system in the right direction. As a result - Skills of the Modern Age (SoMA) have designed and are hosting a Bootcamp to help both designers and innovators, learn how to understand, map and intervene in complex systems to get those desired results. Join today!
