2 August - 25 August 2022. Change for Climate: A Masterclass for Teenagers in Africa
Inscape is a Private Higher Education Institution offering accredited degrees, diploma’s and Higher Certificates in the Digital Design, Business and Innovation as well as Built Environment sectors. The institution promotes design (a.k.a problem solving) as a solution to future careers. The term design thinking has been adopted in many sectors and the world at large now recognises design thinking as a key skill for the future.
The Inscape team developed the Inscape Young Designers Award to educate schools and their learners on the extent of design and design education as a solution to careers of the future. The competition is open to all learners including those not typically aware of design as a solution to make change and improve life. The initiative aims to find an insanely imaginative, infectiously awesome and intentionally expressive unique thinker annually.
Change for Climate will explore new ways of designing, making, and using things that are better for people and the planet. When we talk about tackling climate change, we often talk about the switch to renewable energy — and although this is vital, it’s only half the story. Almost half of greenhouse gas emissions come from the way we make and use products and food. This programme, in partnership with Inscape and the African Leadership University, will demonstrate how circular economy innovation is key to reducing emissions.
How does it work?
The series includes two live interactive webinars with a different challenge each week — encouraging participants to think creatively and have lots of fun while designing their own solutions to address climate change using circular economy ideas.
