Courses Description
What is the goal of the training program?
The main purpose of the Erasmus+ STT week on Design Thinking is to provide participants with the skills needed to respond with the constant changing needs of the society. The training will focus on identifying the challenges and the problems that higher education institutions are faced with, analyzing the impact that these problems have on the affected target groups, generating solutions and creating prototypes. From building identifying the challenges to testing the prototype and validating the solution, everything happens in a cocreative atmosphere where participants learn from experienced facilitators and also from one another. Participants will interact in a dynamic scenery, designed to foster dialogue and debate, being constantly challenged through tasks and case studies consisting of both real life and hypothetical scenarios.

Whom does it address?
Participants to the training should be members of the academic community with an English level of B1 or above, looking to develop and/or improve their know how in relation to design thinking: teaching staff, administrative staff, PhD candidates or researchers etc.
How is the program structured?
The training program will take place in the lovely city of Timisoara, Romania. Timisoara is also known as little Vienna because of its habsburgic look and traces of the Austrian Empire. Timisoara was elected European Capital of Culture for 2023 because of its beauty, rich cultural life and peaceful blend of ethnic minorities. The training program will be divided into presentations and workshops. With a total duration of 25 hours, the classes will take place from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 3 pm (except from the Cultural Immersion Day, see the annexed preliminary program). After completion, all participants will be awarded Erasmus+ Staff Mobility (STT) certificates. The training includes also a rich cultural component with several activities proposed for each day.
