Uncertainty is more than not knowing. In navigating complex societal transitions, it’s just as important to understand what we don’t know as it is to grasp what we do. This tool invites students to explore the different dimensions of uncertainty — from the incomplete and ambiguous to the utterly unpredictable
Through mapping, discussion and metaphor drawing, students engage both cognitively and emotionally with uncertainty. The activity sharpens their conceptual understanding, reveals their personal responses to the unknown and encourages reflection on how uncertainty feels.
By designing a small experiment, students uncover tailored strategies that empower them to become more resilient in the face of uncertainty.
Learning outcome
- The student is able to identify different types of uncertainty, express what triggers their sense of uncertainty and propose a concrete action to address it
