The SIG on Education aims to bring complexity thinking and social simulation to an educational setting broader than only universities and develop our next generations into one in which thinking in terms of complex systems is more central than it is now.  It aims to collect and develop exemplary material for use inside and outside schools, specific to various age groups, consider and develop trainings and training materials for teachers, think about toys embracing complexity for young children and find appropriate arenas and participate in the debate around educational reforms and voice the need for complexity thinking. It also aims to provide platforms to share experiences of complexity thinking in education. The events that ESSA organizes are used to exchange ideas and experiences and for ideas for a research agenda.

The SIG-Education leader is Emile Chappin (TU Delft). Please contact him to become involved.
