Impact@CIIS: Towards an economy of equity (2020)
This workshop is designed to introduce attendees to the evolving skills of international diplomacy, systemics, and complexity science as tools to confront the most wickedly complex challenges of our time, from endemic racism and centuries of marginalization of communities of color, the cultural realities of “othering” that adversely affect women, the LBGTQ community, to climate change and the crushing gap between the rich and the poor. During this highly interactive and discursive session, we will explore case studies where application of these skills have aided in achieving cultural transformation toward a more just, verdant, and inclusive future. We will explore together these core elements of statecraft:
1. Listening with Empathy
2. Expressions of Love & Respect
3. Transformative Action Planning
