Design Thinking at the IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad

The 2016 IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad theme "Explore. Experiment. Exchange" urges us to think in new and creative ways on how we "do" study abroad and how to reach the ambitious goal of doubling study abroad by 2020.  IIE has partnered with The Design Gym to create an atmosphere of innovation and infuse design thinking through the 2016 IIE Summit. A special Generation Study Abroad Design Thinking Challenge will get participants into a creative mindset to voice new ideas, collaborate in shared spaces, and use our collective knowledge to ideate and innovate. A Design Thinking Crash Course will allow participants to explore topics of empathy building, idea development, rapid prototyping and storytelling and walk out with a comprehensive understanding of design thinking and some concrete tools to take back to work. Space for this workshop is limited – click here to register.
