Alive & Learning is a podcast about what’s arising at the intersections of Impact Networks, Systems Change, Futures & Foresight
In 2024, Circle Generation, School of Systems Change, and School of International Futures launched this six episode podcast series exploring what’s arising in the intersections between our similar practices and approaches to: cultivating networks, engaging with a systemic lens, and creating futures where we all thrive.
This vision emerged from a few informal conversations that sparked connections and illuminated common ground we didn’t know we shared. From this grew an inspiration to share more broadly–both the concepts and the work that’s happening on the ground. So, we invited practitioners from diverse local contexts to show how they engage many people to navigate change collectively.
Each episode focuses on relational ways of working that enable us to engage with complex issues and collaborate in uncertainty. We look at ways of engaging with dynamic challenges, and consider the role a living systems worldview may play informing how we shape change in complex systems.
Please listen to the podcast, share it with fellow changemakers and funders, and leave an honest review on the listening platform of your choice. Continue the conversation using #aliveandlearning on socials. We can all have more impact it we consider multiple perspectives, learn through our relationships with others, and take action in shaping the future together.
In episode 1, co-hosts Carri Munn & Elsa Henderson explore the ways that impact networks bring many people together to learn from diverse perspectives. They also discuss how networks strategically coordinate actions to support collective transformation.
In episode 2, we talk to Anna Birney and Sean Andrew from the School of Systems Change about using a living systems paradigm to understand social systems and complexity.
