In today’s fast-paced world, the need for innovation and creative problem-solving has never been greater. At Design+ we develop programmes that cater to diverse groups which is essential in fostering an environment where new ideas can flourish and critical issues can be addressed. These initiatives serve as a catalyst for sparking creativity, driving innovation, and promoting meaningful discussions across a wide range of relevant topics.
By bringing together individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines, we create a dynamic space where collaboration and the exchange of ideas can thrive. This not only enhances our ability to tackle pressing challenges but also empowers communities to shape a better future through shared knowledge and collective effort.
The four-day programme, facilitated by Richard Whyte, Business Development and Technology Gateway Manager at Design+, and team members, Kinga Pestka and Ben Sweeney, aims to nurture creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking among the students. .
