“Seeing, Thinking and Acting in Systems is a short, intensive look at the theories behind our way of working. If you want to understand different perspectives of system thinkers from across the globe and how you might be able to use elements in your own practice, this is a great course to take. ”

“I cannot recommend TACSI’s Co-Design Learning Network highly enough. Brilliantly presented and worked through, I have gained valuable information and tools to seriously bring about true teamwork and co-design to my workplace.”

“The session was engaging, practical, and inspiring. I especially loved the tools we were introduced to, they were not only easy to use but also immediately applicable to real-world community challenges. The facilitators created a friendly environment that encouraged fresh thinking, and I left the session with a stronger mindset and renewed momentum to drive change. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to deepen their skills and practice in creating meaningful social impact.”

“My ah-ha moment was realising I could even apply the Stepping Stones to strategic support conversations that I have every day. As a result of this course, I will try and apply a First Nations perspective to more aspects of my job and life generally.”

“Chris casts the net of this course broad enough that both Social Innovators and people from adjacent fields will find new value and stretch within the diverse content but also deep enough that it will likely provoke revelations for all. The group dialogues accompanying each module allow the time to explore topics deeply and draw parallels with your own practice. I also don't know of another course that more comprehensively weaves First Nations storytelling throughout.”

“FINSI creates a much needed space for those practicing and interested in social innovation to explore in depth the current practices and methods in Australia and the world. The course foregrounds First Nations wisdom and masterfully weaves stories and practice with what these concepts mean for your context. Highly recommended for those looking for a well rounded, carefully crafted experience that prioritises learning, reflection and connection.”
