Join us for an engaging Design Thinking training where we’ll apply design mindsets and methods to relevant challenges in sustainable development. This session will draw on disciplines such as systems thinking, foresight, and anthropology.  Â
Design Thinking is a creative problem-solving approach that helps researchers/teams: 
- centre the desires and goals of people who will be impacted by research 
- collaborate with diverse stakeholders in knowledge and solution creation 
- expand thinking and see data differently through visual mapping and hands-on methods 
- mobilize and share knowledge in an impactful and accessible way Â
