Details

The purpose of this workshop is to explore an interactive model developed within the CO-CREATE project using System Dynamics (SD) modelling. The model is a population-level model demonstrating the drivers and feedback mechanisms governing obesity in adolescents. In the first part of the workshop, the facilitators introduce the CO-CREATE project and how it applies a systems approach to upstream overweight and obesity prevention. Then, the facilitators introduce Systems Thinking and the Systems Dynamics method. Thereafter, a simple example is developed step by step together with participants. In the second part of the workshop, the facilitators introduce the SD model developed in CO-CREATE. In the final interactive group activity, the facilitator shares the model interface link with participant groups. The groups will conduct a series of policy experiments using the model interface and comment on the impact of these policy experiments on obesity prevalence. Each group will report out their reflection on the policy experiments. Lastly, the facilitators wrap up the workshop.
