Key components with sub-components

Community (107): This includes the student cohort and staff and the qualities of the relationships
Diversity 59	“The multicultural nature of the cohort was a priceless experience” “Exposure to important threshold concepts, such as complexity and systems thinking, and to such a vast number of world views and cultural traditions held by my peers”
Staff 43	“Also the way we were facilitated by the program staff, a lot of personal attention and coaching contributed to the success”
Trust/safe space 24	“MSLS puts a lot of effort toward building a strong and trusting space in which relationships can develop. I think this is very important and well done”
Shared values 16	“I think a lot of us working with sustainability will argue that it can be a lonely task, and the opportunity to meet with others from all over the globe on similar journeys is refreshing”
Place (62): The physical environment in which the education occurs, such as the geographical location and natural environment that it is situated in
Natural environment 26	“I came home in myself and connected deeply to nature and all around us. It allows me to declutter the chaos of the world around me and become resilient”
Sweden 13	“The ability to live in Sweden was hugely impactful. I learned so much just being in another country, seeing how things and thoughts are different from my some in my own country”
Karlskrona and/or small town 31	“I also think MSLS’s setting in Karlskrona contributed to the transformation, as a setting removed from the distractions of a city!” “Being in a remote place, with passionate people”
Space 7	“The chance of pushing myself, of practicing deep learning and listening, being present. Gave me a space to increase awareness and also made my path a little clearer”
Pedagogy (86): The teaching approaches used within the program to ensure learning outcomes are met
Group projects 45	“I think the intensive group work (including feedback sessions) plays an important role … You are confronted with yourself and your behavior in multiple ways”
Reflective learning 29	“I started thinking that I was in need of tools and concepts for sustainability. In retrospect, the reflections and POD-sessions in LiC brought me the most in my professional and personal life. I feel I’ve grown as a person and feel more confident in my work”
Peer learning 27	“It gave me the chance to learn from other’s experiences, successes and mistakes. For me collaboration, and exchange of ideas, is one of the best learning tools there are”
Self-directed learning 19	“All the structures encouraged self-sufficiency to some extent and that has served me well in my work now”
Concepts and content (134): These include theoretical and practical concepts and content studied by the students. Within this program they are situated in sustainability science, leadership and social change fields
Systems thinking 47	“Systems thinking because It showed a different way to see both the exterior world and the interior world” “And Systems thinking – now I think of my life in feedback loops”
SSD Course
The FSSD 89 for example, Backcasting 25; ABCD 25	“Awareness of silo thinking and how to use the framework to help discuss complex issues” “FSSD helps me to have a practical approach to big problems/any challenge at work” “Backcasting for life!” “ABCD – every damn day :-)”
LiC Course
Leadership concepts and development 77	“The leadership skills were the most transformational aspect for me. There were many ‘soft skills’ that I had not had the opportunity to nurture or grow prior to MSLS and learned to embrace my shortcomings in certain areas and improve them rather than resent them”
Theories of systems change 33 for example, theory U (18) leverage points (8)	“Societal change methodologies” “Systems thinking taught me about leverage points” “Deep listening”
Facilitation/hosting 68 for example, art of hosting (33)	“Facilitation of these sorts of conversations between stakeholders in a complex system is very useful” “Art of Hosting and participatory facilitation methods”
