Workshop: Design Activation

24 April 2024

(In collaboration with IAL) You’ve heard of Design Thinking and may know something about it, but are you still struggling to understand how to make it relevant and practical in your classroom?

Are you interested in unlocking the power of Design Thinking to create more empathetic, engaging learning experiences?

During this workshop you will gain insights into how to make Design Thinking impactful, within the classroom and beyond, and you’ll have the chance to learn-by-doing during a hands-on co-design activity and discover how key design mindsets can support you and your adult learners in gaining critical thinking skills, creative problem-solving abilities, and effective sensemaking capabilities.
