About the Project

“The Jean Monnet Module on The European Union Multidimensional Strategy for Tackling Africa’s Challenges” – EU4AFRI (2019–2022) concerns the EU’s capacity to provide effective development assistance for African countries. The project takes into consideration the key challenges of African countries, the EU’s role in the global system of international organisations providing development assistance as well as the new circumstances resulting a.o. from The Joint Africa – EU Strategy. The main objective of the EU4AFRI project is to promote research and to provide highly innovative and comprehensive courses and seminars on the increasingly important issues related to the EU’s capacity to provide effective development assistance for African states in the face of the key Africa's challenges as well as the EU’s role in the global system of international organisations providing development assistance nowadays. Additionally, the project is aimed at giving students the factual knowledge and practical skills, which will encourage them to get involved in the shaping of EU policies, promoting a deeper understanding of these complex issues.

Design Thinking in few words

From a global perspective I would wish that design thinking be used to tackle ecological problems. Or that it be used to address questions regarding population growth. I think that with design thinking we can learn to embrace those questions together and not separate ourselves along borders of disciplines.

Hasso Plattner

The people who need design ingenuity the most, the poorest 90% of the global population, have historically been deprived of it.

Alice Rawsthorn

“Design Thinking - it’s our process for creativity and innovation. There’s no one-size-fits-all methodology for bringing new ideas to life, but many successful programs include a variation on four steps: inspiration, synthesis, ideation/experimentation, and implementation”

David Kelley and Tom Kelley

Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success...

Design Thinking

Design Thinking is an innovative method of solving complex problems, the so-called "wicked problems" that cannot be solved effectively using traditional methods. Design Thinking is a human-oriented and user-oriented method throughout the entire design process. It assumes that the key idea of the design process is human - recipient, user to whom the result of design work is dedicated.
