Congratulations to all the students who competed in the Map the System 2023! Registration for students in Map the System 2024 at Mount Royal University will open in November 2023. 

 

	GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY Map the System is a competition for MRU student changemakers to showcase their research, systems mapping and presentation skills on a global stage. The competition is hosted by the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford and has levels of competition at the local, national and international levels.
	SYSTEMS THINKING The program challenges students to demonstrate their understanding of a social or environmental issue by taking a systems-led approach. Students are not evaluated on their proposed solution, but rather their depth of understanding.
	SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT The support from the Institute for Community Prosperity, teams or individuals develop a final presentation highlighting their research, and one team will have an opportunity to compete at the Canadian final and, if selected, at the Global Final at the University of Oxford.
