Compassionate Systems Education

Dulwich College (Singapore), is a leading ‘compassionate systems’ school in the region. Our commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment is rooted in the pioneering work of the https://systemsawareness.org/ at https://www.mit.edu/. This transformative approach is designed to cultivate compassion, mindfulness, and systemic thinking among our students, preparing them to make a positive impact on the world. 

At Dulwich College (Singapore), we believe that education is not just about academic excellence but also about developing compassionate and mindful individuals. Our vision is to create a community where students are encouraged to understand and respond to the interconnected challenges of our world with empathy and resilience. This vision is deeply aligned with the https://systemsawareness.org/introduction-to-compassionate-systems-framework-in-schools/ developed by the Centre for Systems Awareness at MIT. 

The Importance of Compassionate Systems Education 

The Compassionate Systems Framework integrates contemplative practices, compassion cultivation, the science of learning and development, and principles of systems dynamics. This holistic approach helps individuals and organisations grow long-lasting, self-reinforcing change within and around them. By embedding these principles into our curriculum, we aim to: 

• Enhance Wellbeing: Promote mental health and emotional wellbeing among students and staff. 
• Foster Social Connection: Build a strong sense of community and belonging. 
• Encourage Personal Development: Support students in their journey of self-discovery and growth. 
• Develop Systemic Thinking: Equip students with the skills to understand and address complex global challenges. 

Our Journey with the Centre for Systems Awareness 

Our collaboration with the Centre for Systems Awareness began almost a decade ago, planting the seeds of Compassionate Systems thinking within our educational context. Over the years, this partnership has flourished, leading to the development of various initiatives and workshops that have profoundly impacted our community. 

Dulwich College (Singapore) is proud to be a leader in compassionate systems education in the region.
