Map the System is a global learning programme and social innovation competition that equips students to use systems thinking to tackle social and environmental challenges.
Systemic global problems won’t be solved by a lone genius. To confront the complex societal issues young people have inherited, we must invest in a new kind of leader. Systems leaders catalyse social change by empowering others and prioritise a deep understanding of the unjust systems they are trying to dismantle. It is crucial that systems leadership education reaches as many young people as possible, so that future systems leaders have the diversity of perspectives needed to tackle the complex global problems of tomorrow.
Map the System is transforming the way we teach problem solving within higher education and is equipping a new generation of leaders with the systems thinking mindset needed to re-shape our world.
Take Part as a Student
Students spend several months applying systems thinking to dive deep into a social or environmental topic they are passionate about, creating visual systems maps to articulate their findings in a way that people can meaningfully understand, share, and learn from.
Map the System has been delivered in partnership with over 130 Universities since 2016.

“Seeking to understand systems requires more than just technical know-how and mapping skills; it also requires heart and a connection to our own and others’ humanity.”
