About Map the System:
Map the System is a chance for students and recent graduates to learn more about the issues they care about and present their findings to the world. Tackling global challenges starts with understanding a problem and its wider context rather than jumping straight into a business plan or an idea for a quick fix. Participants are asked to demonstrate a deep understanding of a pressing social or environmental issue by mapping out the landscape of the current solutions and identifying missing opportunities for positive change.
The goal of Map the System is to encourage a learning-first approach to social change – one where people take the time to understand and build upon existing efforts before attempting something new. Ultimately, social change is complicated. Mapping is an effective strategy for gaining insight into the many inter-connected facets of complex social issues.
The Canadian Edition:
The Canadian edition of Map the System is organized by the Institute for Community Prosperity, in partnership with the McConnell Foundation’s Re-Code Initiative, the Trico Charitable Foundation and the Skoll Centre. Map the System is a global initiative of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
17 teams from across Canada will represent their institutions in the Map the System Canada Online Final. Each Canadian Team is competing for an opportunity to compete in the Oxford Map the System Global Final.
