Learning by doing
Unlocking innovation potential
As the physical, social and political effects of climate change accelerate, the ground will shift under our feet. Our solution is to create a constant cycle of discovery, experimentation, and adoption, facilitating replication and movement-building across the short, medium and long-term. We need to test and learn by doing.
Innovation and learning are two sides of the same coin; together, they spur transformation in the face of complexity. When people and organisations come together to push the boundaries and do something novel, they must use opportunities to reflect together, learn from successes and failures, make sense of changes and adapt.
By learning while doing, correcting course as needed, we can accelerate transformational change. While doing, we discover and adapt to limits, unintended consequences, and intensifying climate change effects.
Our approach
At Climate KIC, we design and facilitate experimentation, enable and support learning and mindset shifts through reflection, sensemaking and knowledge generation.
We offer innovative and customisable learning formats that build understanding and enable people to act and influence in the areas of
- Working in complexity
- Systems Thinking
- Sensemaking
- Participatory approaches and collaboration
Our capability activities are practice-based, mixing asynchronous and synchronous learning with facilitated and collaborative elements in both virtual and in-person settings.
Our Learning MEL & Insights team designs and delivers a range of learning activities to meet people where they are, within the organisations and changemaking projects they are working in. We work within existing Climate KIC programmes, as well as with individual organisations on specific challenges.
