Exciting Learning Opportunity – ‘Designing Dublin – Learning to Learn’ Project Launched.
DesignTwentyfirst Century believe that new challenges require new skills, and are on a journey to promote ‘Design Thinking’ as a process for people to gain those skills. As part of this journey, they are holding an exciting new learning project called ‘Designing Dublin – Learning to Learn’, which will run from September – November this year. The project will bring together participants from different backgrounds and experiences to collaborate together on a highly visible and positive Dublin City based project.
The project will be brought to life using Design Thinking tools and processes which are rapidly gaining acclaim around the world in the areas of education, enterprise and innovation! By using these processes the projects participants will gain valuable experience and skills critical for successfully addressing Twentyfirst century issues – invention, prototyping, iteration, learning to question the questions, collaboration, creativity and outside the box thinking!
Design Twentyfirst Century are looking for ten people to join their project who are creative, curious thinkers and most importantly doers who are passionate about learning. Applications are welcome from everybody who fits that description regardless of background, education, age or nationality!
There will be no payment for participating, however there is equally no cost for taking part in this exciting and valuable learning experience. Design Twentyfirst Century only ask that applicants are able to commit to the project full-time for the months of September, October and November this year.
Application deadline is the 30th of June and application forms and details are available on www.design21c.com <http://www.design21c.com>
Their hope is that through the success of this pilot project – ‘Designing Dublin – Learning to Learn’ they will be able to illustrate the powerful benefits of ‘Design Thinking’ as a learning process and that it will gain recognition among education policy makers and providers in Ireland. Design Twentyfirst Century believe the skills the process gives to participants are valuable and critical for the future success of Ireland.
