What will happen next? are you curious to look with us at various signals of change, insights from various industries and learn how to influence the situation with service design thinking?

Together, we will dive deeper into 6 selected tools applied in various stages of innovation process as well as practice competences that will enable you to facilitate design thinking process in your environment.

The course will be divided into 4 online sessions (3h each). We will work in plenary session and small groups, using videoconferencing software of Zoom.
