Atlantic Fellows successfully complete Map the System 2025

In 2025, 23 Fellows from across the programs completed the eight-week program, Map the System. Developed by the Skoll Centre at the University of Oxford, the Atlantic Institute offered the program to Fellows who wanted to explore how systems thinking could be applied to tackle complex social and environmental challenges. After completing six modules, the final part of the Fellows' challenge was to give a presentation on Zoom to the Atlantic community about how they have applied systems thinking to their own areas of work. All those who completed the program will receive a certificate.
