Slide1

Inspiring young people to think about the world, their relationship to it, and their ability to influence it in an entirely new way.

Jaimie P. Cloud, Presidentwww.cloudinstitute.orgSlide2

Workshop OutcomesParticipants will:

Develop a shared understanding and vocabulary of Sustainability and Education for Sustainability (EfS)

Become inspired and hopeful about contributing to the shift toward a sustainable future through educationSlide3

What is a simulation?Slide4

Fish Game Guide We are going to run a swordfish fishing industry!

Each person in the group will be fishing for swordfish in the same ocean. Assign the envelope of fish to a banker (“nature”) in the group of players. The banker will put 20 fish in the middle of the table. Twenty fish is this ocean’s

carrying capacity

for swordfish.

In each round, each person can fish for a certain number of

swordfish. Traditionally, people fish for swordfish in the three following ways:

1) Harpoon fishing: take one fish 2) Long-line fishing: take two fish 3) Free-for-all long-line fishing: take three fishEach turn, each person can take up to three fish, depending on the instructions for that game. Slide5

Fish Instructions (cont’d) After each round when all players have taken their fish, the banker

(“nature”) will count the number of swordfish left and add 25% to the pot, up to, but not exceeding, 20 fish (round up if you need to).

Example:

If there are 12 fish left, 3 fish (25% of 12) will be

added to the pot, bringing the total up to 15. (In real life,

swordfish produce far fewer than 25% new offspring

each year—they are like humans in that they have few children over the course of their lifetimes.) The added fish represent the number of baby swordfish made by the swordfish that were left after everyone has taken their fish (the ones that were left in the ocean to reproduce). The object of each game: To have as many fish as possible after playing all 10 rounds.Slide6

Game Instructions We will play the game four times, each a different way:

Game 1

: Everyone chooses a fishing technique at the beginning of the

game and sticks with it until the end of the game

Game 2

: Everyone chooses a fishing technique, but can change

technique each turn during the game Slide7

What can be learned from playing the Fish Game?

De-Briefing

the ExperienceSlide9

What were you thinking?

Thinking Drives Behavior

and

Behavior Causes ResultsSlide10

How Many of YouMade it through all 10 rounds

in every game you played?Slide11

What happened?

If your group ran out of fish before you were able to play 10 rounds, then the number of Fisher folk fishing the way you did resulted in

more fish taken from the ocean faster than

the ocean was able to replenish them.

We call that unsustainable.

Slide12

We wouldn’t need Education for Sustainability

if there was no such thing as un-sustainableSlide13

What were you thinking?

Now that you know that something you did

or didn’t do

contributed to “crashing the system,”

Why did you do it?Slide14

How

Mental Models Affect

and

the World Around Us?

“Everything that happens

is reported to the brain as absolute fact.” (Langer)“Most people make sense to themselves.” (Jones)Slide17

The Results of These Classic Mental Models

We often operate without the information we needWe ignore/can’t see the feedback (believing is seeing)

“If

we cannot hear or see

feedback,

cannot perceive relevant data for our brains to filter” - OchsnerWe exhibit characteristics of insanity Our “fixes” backfire on us or we shift the burdenSlide18

“All systems are perfectly designed

to get the results they get.”(Richmond) Slide23

“It is worth noting that this is not the work

of ignorant people.” (Orr)Slide24

It all begins

with a change in thinkingSlide25

Closing the Gap

Brainstorm ActivityIn small groups, brainstorm the mental models, behaviors, and strategies required

make the shift toward sustainability. Slide26
