Concept Presentation 10th Dec 2012
There is one question that has been troubling me for
quite a while.
How to get people to think and act differently?
Hmm. Education could be the key. I must re-frame the question...
How to make design & entrepreneurship education
available to everyone worldwide?
How could this be done?
I have an idea.
Let’s build Design & Entrepreneurship
school into a container!
And we make the design &
entrepreneurship education
available to everyone
worldwide!
Grand VisionOrdinary people around the world will be
connected and empowered to do extraordinary things in their own local communities.
Grand Solution
Grand Solution
Global community of local innovators who are
connected via the thousands of D+E Schools in containers
all around the world. Together we can tackle the wicked problems we face today and in the future.
What is D+E School in a Container made of?
Projects
Facilitation
Space+ Tools
Container = Space
First, we need a space. Container is a place where there are tools to build prototypes and a media kit to broadcast ideas everywhere. That is the base for
a feeling that everything is possible.
FacilitationFacilitation's job is to give
permission to think and act differently. Permission is given
by building trust among the people. We facilitate different
kinds of workshops from brainstorming to photography
and from prototyping to sales in order to inspire making ideas into reality. Good facilitation
gives the feeling that everything is possible.
To think and act differently we need projects. We need to do things we are excited about to find the optimal moment when the challenges
and skills meet. It is when you feel like you have all the time in world while the time flies. You are
present. And feel that everything is possible.
