OSCE Academy BA Students Participated in Design Thinking Workshop for Social Entrepreneurship

On 13 September 2024 the OSCE Academy junior BA Economics students took part in the Design Thinking for Social Entrepreneurship workshop at the American University of Central Asia (AUCA), led by Professor Elena Chigibaeva.

Prior to the workshop the OSCE Academy students had a tour in the Maker Space of AUCA and observed 3D designing and modelling technology. Following that students had a workshop at which they explored the ways Design Thinking drives innovation for solving pressing social issues. They learned how to empathize with communities to understand their challenges, define the core problems to maximise the impact, ideate creative solutions addressing real-world needs, prototype actionable plans, test and refine the ideas for sustainability and further growth. Students were engaged in brainstorming sessions and building their own prototypes. By the end of the session students came up with their own ideas of future social ventures.

The OSCE Academy thanks the organizing team for bringing their passion and dedication to the table.
