Impact Up Constructs
Constructs are the theoretical foundations of Impact Up – the thinking tools our work has grown from. We call them constructs because we built them to see and discuss impact relationships. Every description of the world is a construction – and good constructions make working together possible: they give everyone involved a language for what is at work between them. Three of them carry our work.

An approach to social change with a systemic claim – established in the English-speaking field; we bring it into the German-speaking context. For us, one of several approaches that systemic impact orientation draws on.
