Why is the workshop so special？
01 It tackles The Global Sustainability Challenge
Economic challenges, global warming and climate change, loss of species, limits to resources like water and fossil fuels, the gap between rich and poor, the migration of refugees ... these are things that cannot and should not continue. Problems like this require us to make changes. They are "unsustainable."
Many of these challenges are linked together. For example, the more fossil fuel we burn, the more carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere, and this warms up the planet. As the planet heats up, our ability to provide food and water to everyone is likely to get more difficult. That could, in turn, increase poverty, or at least make it much harder to reduce poverty, which could lead to conflict and migration. Everything appears to be linked to everything else!
We call this the Global Sustainability Challenge. Everyone is affected by this Challenge ... and everyone can be part of the solution. Work teams, associations, school classes, government agencies, clubs ... we need everyone on the job, helping to make a change and turn our common boat onto a more sustainable course.
02 It is easy to turn into actionable business plans
Even if the Sustainability Pyramid original workshop didn't include this part, following extensive research, "Tianmei's World" Academy founder has added an extra tool to compliment the outcome. By adding the Business Model Canvas as a working tool as part of the workshop, attendees have the opportunity to go through all the stages of problem-solving, from identifying it to turning their solution into a viable and sustainable business plan, further promoting sustainability.
03 It's visual
According to the Value-Action Gap Theory (Blake, 1999), one of the reasons why people might not take actions to protect the environment even if they are aware of the sustainability challenge is because they feel that individual effort is too small to make a difference or have difficulties visualizing the part that their effort plays in the whole system. By building the Sustainability Pyramid, participants get to visualize how their individual and teamwork are affecting the whole system. As such, the workshop allows participants to attain a more impactful behavioral change. 04 It develops multiple skills at the same time
Through its interactivity and structure, attending the workshop helps participants develop multiple skills: critical and systems thinking, teamwork and communication, problem-solving, mediation, and empathy among different stakeholders, all while learning to take ownership of sustainability issues.
5. Introduction to the Sustainable Compass
The Sustainability Compass is almost self-explanatory. A compass helps us to map the territory, and find our direction. The idea of a compass is also about being inclusive: when we need to understand the whole picture, we "gather people from all points of the compass."
The Sustainability Compass takes the ordinary English-language directions — North, East, South, West — and renames them, keeping the same well-known first letters, N, E, S, W.
The new names for the directions — Nature, Economy, Society, and Wellbeing — correspond to the four essential dimensions of sustainability. For a school, organization, company, or community to be sustainable, it needs to be thinking about and taking care of, all four directions, all at the same time.
