The world is a beautiful place, filled with problems waiting to be solved. In this club, we’ll explore everything needed to become a problem-solver and create a positive change in the world. We'll go through different social problems, no matter the size, and try, not only to understand them but to pose possible solutions.

This course is perfect for all the students that would like to have a bigger understanding of how the world works, what are the causes and effects of big and small known problems, and what are the key elements when designing a solution.

Understanding the different styles of problems Through this club, we’ll develop a new identity: problem-solvers. But in order to get there we’ll have to explore different realms. We’ll talk about the different types of problems, why they exist, and what different forces have an impact on them. No matter the size, we’ll investigate social and individual problems and come up with a bigger understanding of them. We’ll also spend time talking about solutions! What has been tried? Why did it work? Why did it fail? What makes a solution sustainable? All of these will be answered throughout the course. Finally, we’ll try to come up with our own possible solutions for problems in our lives and communities, maybe even implementing those in our lives! Getting to know the basics of Systems Thinking Understanding the interplay of various elements in a problem Different types of solutions: success elements, sustainability in solutions, and more
