Welcome to our Design Thinking for Social Change Guide. This guide is a practical resource that helps you make real, impactful changes in your community through adult education. It offers a comprehensive range of tools that walk you through every stage of the Design Thinking process. The aim is simple: to understand and address the genuine needs of communities looking for social change. With visually engaging and interactive content, we explore the stages of Empathy, Definition, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing. We make these concepts accessible, ensuring you’re not just aware of the problems but are also equipped to create lasting solutions.
What sets our guide apart is its focus on shifting your mindset from problem-focused to solution-focused. This change in perspective is crucial when dealing with social issues that require innovative approaches. The guide also incorporates the power of storytelling, helping you connect with your community stakeholders, understand their struggles and aspirations, and ultimately create meaningful change.
