by CMU Uniserv and attended by more than 350 participants, was one of this year\u2019s official TED Countdown Anchor Events aligned with COP30 in Bel\u00e9m, Brazil. As part of TED\u2019s global initiative to accelerate climate solutions, the event encouraged participants not only to listen but also to learn, experiment, and take action.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the eight hands-on breakout sessions, Compass Education collaborators Robert Steele and Watkana Thongrueng of Systainability Asia facilitated an interactive workshop using the Sustainability Compass\u2014one of Compass Education\u2019s signature tools for applying systems thinking to sustainability challenges. The session quickly became a participant favourite, especially for those seeking practical and accessible strategies to understand and respond to climate issues from a whole-system perspective.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35a5970 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35a5970\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Dynamic, Hands-On Exploration of Climate Change<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5e84ce elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5e84ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twenty-one participants from international NGOs, schools, creative sectors, and university-based SDG and climate action clubs joined the workshop. Many later described the experience as fun, energizing, and deeply insightful.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The session began with a Sustainability Compass-inspired icebreaker, inviting participants to move through the four Compass points\u2014<\/span><b>Nature, Economy, Society, and Wellbeing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014to reflect on how climate change affects their lives from each lens.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants then formed small groups, each assigned a Compass point, and collaboratively mapped climate impacts and contributing factors from their specific perspective. Within minutes, colourful strands of yarn stretched across the room as participants connected their ideas, forming a vivid visual web that brought systems thinking to life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The takeaway became clear: climate change is a whole-system challenge, and actions in one part of the system influence the rest. The <\/span><b>Br\u00fajula de sostenibilidad<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> activity helped participants see these relationships more clearly and encouraged them to think systemically about climate solutions moving forward\u2014an essential skill Compass Education aims to nurture worldwide.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a12e26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a12e26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Triangle Game: Systems Thinking in Motion<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc89e2d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc89e2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, participants explored interconnectedness through the <\/span><b>Triangle Game<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another activity often used in Compass Education trainings to illustrate dynamic systems behaviour. Each person secretly selected two others in the room and attempted to maintain an equal-sided triangle with them\u2014while those individuals were doing the same.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the game unfolded, the group shifted continually, speeding up, slowing down, and readjusting in response to one another\u2019s movements.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the debrief, a powerful insight emerged: even someone who felt least connected still influenced the entire system. One small step could trigger adjustments across the room\u2014sometimes instantly, sometimes with a delay, but always with ripple effects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This simple movement exercise reinforced a fundamental systems thinking principle: small actions, or <\/span><b>puntos de apalancamiento<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can create wide and often unexpected impacts across a system.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a60c10d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a60c10d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Moment of Collective Momentum<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96bd344 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"96bd344\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an official TED Countdown Anchor Event, TEDxChiangMai provided a meaningful platform to explore both ideas and practical strategies for climate action.
