Education | Design Thinking Workshop • Led by Emrah Kozan, author of the book Tasarım Odaklı Düşünce, the two-session Design Thinking Workshop took place at İskele on Saturday, 21 May, at 10.00.
Design thinking is a method that aims to understand users, redefine problems and develop innovative solutions through prototyping and testing.
The first session explored the scope of design thinking methodology and different approaches to problems. The second session focused on applying the method to professional and production processes. Through practical exercises, participants experienced problem-solving processes and considered how they could apply this approach in different areas of their lives. The programme was designed around practical, activity-based exercises that enabled participants to address problems through design thinking.
