SUCCESS STORIES
Independently run workshops in Meghalaya, India
Meghalaya, a beautiful green and hilly region in the East of India, and former host of the biggest-ever Impact Week (Impact Week Meghalaya 2023), is set on fire with their acquired Design Thinking knowledge! We received the news that Junior Coaches from Impact Weeks Meghalaya 2023 and 2024 have conducted yet another Design Thinking workshop at Shillong College with their students.
Quote from one of the locals: “WE ARE HAVING FUN, thanks for bringing this to us”
Design Thinking Workshops at Goodwood College in South Africa
The Impact Week South Africa has just come to a close but good news is far from being over! Local Junior Coaches have implemented a Design Thinking coaching for grade 12s at Goodwill College. The goal? To assist them in creating creative study methods to support them with their finals! Go team!!
Independently run workshop in Jordan
Our Coaches from Jordan introduced students from the Jubilee Institute to Design Thinking in a two-day workshop during the Global Entrepreneurship Week 2024. The workshop was organized in collaboration with our trusted partner IBTECAR Consulting.
“A heartfelt thank you to Impact Week for paving the way. Thanks to this initiative, I and other Design Thinking Coaches are equipped to transfer this knowledge to younger generations.” Rasha Abdelsalam
