Design Thinking provides us with a systematic and structural approach to solving complex problems from many fields and to find new solutions that meet the needs of those involved. It is often used in the field of idea and innovation development.
The method is based on a multi-step, agile and iterative process. This design thinking process helps us to narrow down and actually understand our problem, identify solution spaces and generate concrete ideas. In each step of this process, we apply different creative techniques and thus approach innovative solutions for our problem. Users and their needs are always in the foreground.
This course introduces the steps of the design thinking process, explains them and provides a number of methods and tools which can be applied to facilitate each step.
This course is designed to improve your own competences regarding COL&V. It is divided into 4 learning units with different focuses, which can be worked through individually.
The course is based on the reveal publication which is therefore deposited on the main page.
LEVEL5 is not just about validation, it is a holistic validation and learning system.
Therefore, it is designed to plan and deliver competence-based learning - especially in informal and non-formal contexts where no pre-written learning plans are available.
This module on Open Educational Resources (OER) offers thematic inputs as well as exercises to test and train one's own skills.
With the learning units
- OER - Background and Basic Ideas
- Using and Developing OER
- Application of OER in one's own context
basic aspects of the topic are covered.
Welcome to the GSD Sustainable Programmes module, a module that brings together a diverse collection of sustainable programmes from the Generators for Sustainable Development (GSD) partnership. In this module, we will explore various learning projects that have been implemented over the life of these initiatives, giving you an insight into the innovative, impactful and transformative work that has been done to address pressing global challenges.
The GSD Partnership is a coalition of organisations, institutions and individuals working across sectors to promote sustainability. These programmes address issues ranging from environmental protection and social equity to economic development and technological innovation. Through these learning projects, you will gain a deeper understanding of the methods, strategies and experiences of these initiatives, providing inspiration and guidance for your own sustainability efforts.
Join us as we delve into the experiences, successes and challenges of the GSD Partnership projects and showcase their shared commitment to a more sustainable and equitable world. Get ready for a journey of discovery, learning and inspiration in the field of sustainable development.
