LEARNINGS
This project allowed to learn about system mapping and its use in a drawing conclusions and connections when developing problem statements. Our use of a complex map enabled us to 'see' more but confounded us on what to 'do'. I also learned about different types of well-being and the social science implications of a secure and healthy society.
