Map the System is a global competition organized by Oxford University鈥檚 Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship. It challenges students and educators to deeply explore complex social or environmental issues through systems thinking, focusing not just on solutions, but on understanding root causes, key actors, and relationships within the system. Participants present their research using visual systems maps and narrative analysis to inspire more impactful, informed change. We are proud to announce that this year, the team received exclusive sponsorship from Oxford, which enabled the finalist team to present their research at the University of Oxford from July 3 to July 6!
