In October 2021, IdeaSquare hosted Design the Future, an educational programme developed in-house by Pablo Trello. This edition was organised in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
Design the Future is a programme which addresses so-called wicked problems and stimulates participants to use a combination of exponential thinking, system thinking as well as disruptive thinking. The aim of Design the Future is to provide students with a toolbox of methodologies combining the above thinking schools while stimulating their imagination. It is an invitation for designing our future society.
The 5th edition of Design the Future was as usual built around two workshops. 20 students in five groups took part. During the first day, the students were introduced to the methodologies and during the second session, two weeks later, they presented their final projects. Held over Zoom, this edition was an example of how IdeaSquare’s philosophy can still spread remotely as the teams of students progressed with their projects independently between the workshops.
