Cultivating Ecotones for Systems Change: Luminary Open Learning with Holon Perspectives

Join Illuminate Network Luminaries, Anshul Agrawal and Maya Narayan for a webinar uncovering the learning and experience creating and facilitating the Systems Panorama program.

To nurture a “Brave Space”, where the changemakers expressed themselves uninhibitedly, as well as explored the notion of systemic relationality between one another, and the problems that they were tackling; an ecotone for social impact.

The webinar will weave in specific learnings and anecdotes from the Systems Panorama program, including what went well and what could be improved, and will showcase some of the changemakers’ takeaways from this experience.
