About – Our Quest

A quest is a journey of adventure and exploration in which the traveler feels drawn toward a challenging goal that involves overcoming obstacles and leads to self-discovery with increased understanding of some of life’s deeper meanings. The challenging goal toward which the STVIC project feels drawn is to be a living platform to share the quests of fellow systems thinking travellers. In what ways will increased understanding reward challenging self-discovery in this community? How will individual travellers and the overall community benefit each other? Are there intellectual and emotional obstacles that might be overcome by strengthening the community fabric?

Begin the adventure toward your challenging goal by exploring the quest themes shown below!

Getting The Most From Our Website

Like all countries, Canada’s present self awareness is influenced by the memories of its past. The information you share today on Systems Thinking Voices In Canada becomes a valuable memory for tomorrow’s systems thinkers to learn from and solidify confidence in their systems thinking efforts.
