Instructions
This activity helps Scouts consider all of the implications of their solution, at a systemic level.
Ask Scouts to review the Systems Compass (https://compasseducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Systems-Condition-Poster-en.pdf) and make sure Scouts understand the four areas:
- Nature
- Well-being
- Society
- Economy
They can use this compass to think about all the different ways their solution affects the wider world.
Then, using the blank worksheet (https://compasseducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Blank-Compass-Template.pdf), work through each of the four sections of the compass one-by-one, writing down all of the different ways their solution affects that section. Encourage them to notice both positive and negative effects.
Debrief
Then discuss the results. Does anything surprise you? Are there any changes you’d like to make as a result?
