Design Thinking for children & teenagers
Design for Change is the world’s largest movement for change by children, for children. Inspired by the concept of “design thinking”, this innovative teaching method aims to develop cross-disciplinary skills through the realization of citizen projects in which young people are the main actors and beneficiaries. Its main aim is to make children and young people aware of their ability to change things, thanks to the “ZA MAHAVITA” (I can!) mindset. Design for Change offers to solve a problem or bring about a change in a situation chosen by young people through a 4-step process.
