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.
