Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

Systems Thinking, Education and Innovation for the Circular Economy


CIRCULAR ECONOMY COMPETENCIES

Some authors, such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Kops and Bukman and Het Groene Brein, have already written about such competencies. Following some desk research and interviews with experts, the team behind ThreeC identified systems thinking and design thinking as central to circular economy competencies. Approaching challenges from multiple perspectives is also essential, as complex transitional processes rarely have one single solution. Consequently, learners need to be aware of the fact that there are always other viewpoints, opinions or perspectives, depending on different values and worldviews.
