Apply now to be a part of the Design Thinking team and get ready for a life-changing experience in Tanzania! 

The spirit of Impact Week is a mix of entrepreneurship and social innovation, coupled with intercultural exchange. It is a memorable experience for all participants. 

During the first week, we will train a new group of Junior Design Thinking Coaches by taking them through a three-day "Train-the-Coach" phase. 

In the practical phase in the second week the newly trained Junior Coaches will directly apply their new Design Thinking skills while being guided by experienced Design Thinking experts (calles "Senior Coaches") and help students find innovative solutions for local challenges. 

Each participating team will work on one focus area and create an innovative idea to tackle it – always keeping the Design Thinking methodology at heart. Our local partner is currently assessing which problems are most pressing and relevant to the local  community.

Upon completion of the program, you will be a trained Junior Design Thinking Coach, who has already applied the methodology and can become a multiplier of the methodology in your professional and private life.

You'll gain key skills through Design Thinking, such as innovation, customer focus, and implementation orientation. 

In addition, Impact Week promotes local entrepreneurship and social innovation and ideally helps our local partner UP development to implement generated solutions.

As a Junior Coach applicant, please fill out the following form expressing your interest. We will then schedule a 30-minute conversation with you. After we spoke to all applicants we will make our final decision on who is joining us in Tanzania. 

Applications are open until 16 September!
