Creative life design lab

The main aim of this TC is to develop the competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) of creative confidence and innovation, of 21 European youth workers to equip them with the tools and method - Design Thinking (DT) and embracing creativity - helpful in designing the personal and professional life of the youth they serve.

OBJECTIVES:

1. increasing the knowledge and skills on creative confidence, ways to unlock and nurture it, and the DT process;

2. strengthening the potential by acquiring skills, identifying the principles and strategies in the abovementioned scope;

3. increasing awareness of the importance and usefulness of creative confidence, innovations and DT for designing professional and personal life.

This training course is designed with the foundational principles of Experiential Learning Theory and Design thinking method in mind. Participants should come prepared to:

Learn from and with each other

Engage actively in learning experiences

Contribute meaningfully to the team dynamic and reflections

Step outside of their comfort zones

Share from their own personal life experience and perspective

In order to best understand how to bring these experience to youth, we will take an approach throughout the training to help YOU first discover the method of DT and to design on the spot the prototype of activities for local youth. Because we believe that participants learn the most when they teach others, participants of this training course will implement their work in their local communities when they will be back in their countries.
