Young people are at the forefront of shaping solutions to pressing societal challenges. However, many lack structured tools and methodologies to turn their ideas into sustainable and impactful solutions. Design Thinking, a human-centered and collaborative approach to problem-solving, provides a powerful framework that empowers youth to reimagine challenges as opportunities for innovation and social impact.
To build the capacity of youth in this space, Nova Impact, a tech-driven non-profit organization in Ghana, is hosting a Youth Design Thinking for Social Change Webinar. The session aims to equip participants with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in applying design thinking to address real-world challenges in their communities.
Objectives The webinar seeks to:
Introduce participants to the fundamentals of design thinking and its relevance to social change.
Provide practical tools and approaches for problem identification, ideation, prototyping, and testing solutions.
Inspire youth to apply design thinking in driving innovation within their communities.
Facilitate interactive group activities to simulate real-life problem-solving using design thinking principles.
