In this interactive networking session, we invite students and practitioners to gather in a shared space of reflection, connection, and storytelling. Together, we’ll trace our systems thinking journeys, from the early days of uncertainty to the lessons that emerged from asking brave questions and choosing to stay present when things got hard.

Students will have the opportunity to share the story of how their understanding of systems has evolved through inquiry, discomfort, and discovery. In turn, practitioners will reflect on their own unfolding path: what continues to spark their passion, how their perspective has shifted over time, and the questions they are still carrying.

This session is about more than networking. It’s a chance to glimpse one another’s growth, honour the learning already underway, and recognize how we are all part of something bigger. Together, we’ll explore not just where we’ve been but how we continue to thrive, individually and collectively, on the journey of systems change.
