The first of a series of three graphics in the shape of trees with the title: ‘Key competencies: Ways of practicing’. On the trunk of the tree is a circle labelled ‘Ways of practising’. Lines connect the circle to three circles higher up the tree. The first is labelled ‘Strategic’, the second ‘Collaboration’ and the third ‘Integrated problem-solving’. Each of these circles have lines connecting to three smaller circles located on the tips of the branches. The ‘Strategic’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Develop innovative actions that further sustainable development’; ‘Implement innovative actions that further sustainable development’; ‘Consider how innovative actions can be at a local level or further afield’. The ‘Collaboration’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Learn from others and deal positively with conflicts in a group’; ‘Respect the needs, perspectives and actions of others’; ‘Facilitate collaborative and participatory problem-solving’. The ‘Integrated problem-solving’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Apply different problem-solving framework to complex sustainable development problems’; ‘Develop viable, inclusive and equitable solutions’; ‘Utilise appropriate competencies to solve problems’.

The second of a series of three graphics in the shape of trees with the title: ‘Key competencies: Ways of thinking’. On the trunk of the tree is a circle labelled ‘Ways of thinking’. Lines connect the circle to three circles higher up the tree. The first is labelled ‘Systems thinking’, the second ‘Anticipatory’ and the third ‘Critical thinking’. Each of these circles have lines connecting to three smaller circles located on the tips of the branches. The ‘Systems thinking’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Recognise and understand relationships’; ‘Analyse complex situations and deal with uncertainty’; ‘Consider how systems are embedded within different domains and scales’. The ‘Anticipatory’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Assess the consequences of actions and deal with risks and challenges’; ‘Understand and evaluate multiple outcomes’; ‘Apply the precautionary principle and create their own visions for the future’. The ‘Critical thinking’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Question norms, practices and opinions’; ‘Reflect on one’s own values, perceptions and actions’; ‘Take a position in the sustainable development discourse’.

The third of a series of three graphics in the shape of trees with the title: ‘Key competencies: Ways of being’. On the trunk of the tree is a circle labelled ‘Ways of being’. Lines connect the circle to two circles higher up the tree. The first is labelled ‘Normative’ and the second ‘Self-awareness’. Each of these circles have lines connecting to three smaller circles located on the tips of the branches. The ‘Normative’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Consider the norms and values that underlie one’s actions’; ‘Reflect on the norms and values that underlie one’s actions’; ‘Negotiate sustainable development values, principles, goals and targets in a context of uncertain knowledge’. The ‘Self-awareness’ circle is connected to circles labelled: ‘Reflect on own role in the local community and global society’; ‘Reflect on own values, perceptions and actions’; ‘Continually evaluate and further motivate actions and deal with feelings and desires’.
