affecting people living in Ireland (e.g. Water, Economy,

Experience how these issues can be addressed in ways that generate practical hope help to create a better society

The seminar will involve playing the Perspectivity Game, a board game that is played all over the world to explore the dynamics
of groups making decisions that affect others, just like we face in todays Ireland. Those participants who can stay on for the

messiness of todays world.

We define complexity as those topics that have multiple causes and effects and multiple stakeholders who interact to
continually change the dynamics. Complexity demands that we create dialogue opportunities where each can engage
meaningfully to arrive at collective decisions to achieve collective impact.
