Group model building and participatory system dynamics

This interactive workshop brings together researchers and practitioners interested in systems thinking, group model building and participatory modelling with communities, organisations and policymakers. We will explore how to move beyond simply mapping complex problems toward supporting meaningful systems change efforts with communities.

The event will feature contributions from Dr Andrew Brown and his colleagues Kate Engel and Carina Mammone from Deakin University (Australia), alongside Dr Loes Crielaard (Amsterdam UMC).

This interactive event will provide a demonstration of group model building (GMB). The demonstration will be engaging both for those who have never experienced GMB before and for those with experience facilitating GMB.

Programme (11:00–15:00):

• Demonstration and short course on group model building: having impact beyond mapping
• Networking lunch
• World Café discussions
