Design Thinking for Social Entrepreneurship -Training impressions

Under project RISE, ARNO is implementing an online 3 days training (23,24,25th of August) for 2 groups of young people.  The first day was used to do introduction to Social Entrepreneurship from A to Z, to give info on the RISE project and the upcoming Call. The second day we had an expert (Milan Stojanov, Creative Director at Publicis) that did amazing showcase of the method, shared awesome examples ( from producing cookies for dogs with flower seeds inside (you guess that flowers grow after that dog walk:)) to sheep street view to attract tourists, and orange juice packaging with exact hour of the squeezed juice on the label. The participants also practiced the 4 words method and the 6 thinking hats for development of their own ideas. The third day is focused on the Business Model Canvas with highlight on the Journey Map of the user and some practical exercises for group work.
See our gallery for some insights and inspiration, and stay tuned for the upcoming Call for RISE Journey 2.
