IDEA is inviting you to join us for the first event in our Innovation Series 2023. This interactive and engaging 2-part workshop will introduce you to Innovation, as well as methods, exercises and activities that will help you identify your creative strengths, and enable you to think about, design and frame your projects differently.
The facilitators for this very first event in IDEA’s 2023 Innovation Series are Becky Hatchett, and Stéphanie Heckman of
Think Visual. The aim is to equip participants with the tools they need to push the boundaries of how they think about their work, design their activities and engage with their audiences. Think Visual is a creative engagement consultancy that develops meaningful and impactful stakeholder engagement and communication. It helps organisations transform into places where people's spirit and innovation thrive, by harnessing their inherent creativity towards finding meaningful and purposeful connection to their work, their leaders and their peers.
The challenges Global Citizenship Education works to address are always evolving. To be able to respond effectively, we need to explore new ways of thinking about our work, designing our activities and engaging with our audiences. Strengthening our ability to imagine new solutions and trialling new ideas is vital to this. This is why IDEA is providing a space for our members to experiment and push the boundaries of Global Citizenship Education, so you can harness your creativity to bring about transformational change.
“It’s about creating ‘muscle memory’ for innovative ways of thinking and acting. The only way to learn innovation is to actually take action and do things”. - Emilia Saarelainen, Innovation Fellowship Programme Manager, UNHCR Innovation Service.
The workshop will take place across 2 sessions, Tuesday 16 May, 10.30am - 3.30pm, and Friday 09 June, 10-12 noon, and the
activities will be grounded in practice, offering you the chance to start designing a project (real or fictional) that relates to you and your work. This could be designing a new workshop, a ground-breaking event or looking for a solution to a challenge you’re facing.
More details to follow shortly.
