They were not immediately aware of it, but it was about
developing capabilities.
Learning how to work alone
And how towork in groups

and how to work as groups that are a
part of larger groups.
Jan Ahlstedt ©
In groups, they were critical with themselves
Jan Ahlstedt ©
and they were critical with others,

and in doing so, they gained not only self awareness

They experienced the process of learning how to follow
methods that work against preventive thinking system of
‘immediate solution’.
And they had a quick dive into complexity and complex systems, even within their own groups.

They learned how to take a snapshot of mindsets in
a current situation

and they imagined what to do about it from wherever
they were standing.

And there was a moment when they got lost
Jan Ahlstedt ©
and doubted if it would actually work, if they
weren’t creating more damage instead of changing for good.
Jan Ahlstedt ©
They have learnt that no one knows all, and it shouldn’t stop them
from trying!
Jan Ahlstedt ©
And they have learnt what they don’t know or why it is important to be comfortable with being
uncomfortable.

They learned to experience the process

because no one learns on their own.

Oh! And we’re very proud they have learnt to use Helsinki transportation
system!

And just when they thought we could no longer challenge
them, we restricted their verbal communication!
And we eagerly watched their group work on
Governance and Water outcomes!
