This online training event was hosted by EIT Climate-KIC and the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC). Together, they initiated the MOTION-project to develop and test methodologies for systemic change. This training offered an introduction into the TIPC-MOTION methodology and continued with a group work session to help participants enable the transformative potential their project (portfolio) can make in systems change.
During this training participants:
- Learned how organisations can contribute to transformational change
- Learned what a Theory of Change for Systems Transformation entails
- Practiced developing a Transformative Theory of Change
- Meet other transformation agents and exchange experiences
