Systems Literacy
Structured Deliberations to Promote Systems Literacy is an initiative of the College of Exploration and the Structural Modeling Group engaged by Future Worlds Center and supported by the software platforms of FWC's software arm Ekkotek.
Systems Literacy
A description of the overall Systems Literacy movement and related projects is found at https://systemsliteracy.org/ .
Additional Background on this branch of Systems Literacy initiatives is found in a 2017 Research Note by Peter Tuddenham.
Efforts towards improving Systems Literacy can be traced back at least to the 1970's. This initiative seeks to draw the strands together with stakeholders which may not have previously been well represented in such initiatives, in the service of civic societies and the problems and dilemmas we must face together.
Structured Deliberations to Promote Systems Literacy
The Structured Deliberations approach is intended to span interventions from "deliberation-at-scale," intended to be more inclusive and much larger than previous such dialogues. It is also intended to be scaled down, and it's cost reduced to the point that we cam engage individuals in systemic perspectives on the problems they face - even at K-12 ages.
One approach to Structured Deliberations which is our starting point is Structured Democratic Deliberation, (FWC) also known as Structured Dialogic DesignTM - the Institute for 21st Century Agoras.
Invitations to Participate
As a first step, anyone can join the Systems Literacy Network here: https://www.coexploration.org/systemsliteracy/ or at https://systemsliteracy.org/join-the-network/
As a second step of involvement you may tune into our monthly Zoom call on the Third Saturdays of the month 12:00PM EST. As of Q4 2020 we are working on the invitation process itself to plan such a large endeavor.
A third level of involvement is to participate in the elicitation of ideas about this initiative through the mobile app Idea Prism. This is available to download and install for free on both mobile operating systems from your app store. Then [mailto: kevin@futureworldscenter.org email Kevin Dye, Project Architect] to get invited into the structured dialogue.
