Summary
This course offers a chance to join a growing network of design thinkers around the world working within a series of hubs operating within communities and enterprises. Ecological Design Thinking is about using an approach to unravel complex situations involving multiple stakeholders. Students will learn how to apply a variety of skills and techniques to arrive at a creative solution.
The blended learning programme enables students to improve their practice while continuing to work allowing them to immediately implement their learning. It is delivered in four modules: Design and Ecology, Design and Society, Design and Place and Design in Practice.
We believe in a future where the things that we design no longer need to be detrimental to the wellbeing of our planet.
This programme offers a dynamic new way of engaging with the challenging situations we face socially, economically and environmentally.
We show you how to use ecological design thinking to unravel complex situations in the work-place, in your community or within organisations. You will learn the practical skills and knowledge to show you how to achieve co-created solutions which engage everyone and foster resilience in individuals and communities.
Ecological Design Thinking is a growing discipline around the world as its techniques are increasingly adopted in the fields of design, education and business as well as within leadership, management and consultancy.
The Ecological Design Thinking programme is trans-disciplinary, insightful and universal in its application. The blended model combining online study with four periods of two week residency allows professionals to continue their practice while studying.
It brings together theoretical and practical discourses on ecologically inspired design, with the latest developments in anthropology, psychology and socio-political economics. It aims to provide a tool-kit for change makers at the forefront of our transition to sustainable societies.
