The Learning Experience and Skills

Our expert-designed curriculum draws inspiration from design sprints, hackathons, and years of consulting experience to effectively tackle real-world challenges in a collaborative and creative manner. Participants will practice their creative problem-solving skills while supporting Yachana Foundation by developing feasible solutions that can be implemented.

Curriculum Breakdown:

  1. Research and Design Brief:
    • Participants will receive a comprehensive brief detailing the research and design challenge identified by Yachana Foundation. This document will serve as the foundation for our problem-solving efforts.
  2. Research and Challenge Review:
    • We will review the research findings and challenge in-depth, ensuring that all participants have a clear understanding of the context, constraints, and opportunities. This step is crucial for aligning our efforts and setting the stage for impactful solutions.
  3. Co-Designing Solutions:
    • Through collaborative workshops, participants will engage in co-design sessions, generating innovative ideas and approaches. This process leverages diverse perspectives to create well-rounded and effective solutions.
  4. Building to Learn:
    • Participants will prototype their idea, testing and refining through iterative cycles. This hands-on approach allows for immediate feedback and continuous improvement, ensuring that the solution is practical and viable.
  5. Defining Next Steps:
    • The final phase involves synthesizing the outcomes and defining actionable next steps. Participants will outline implementation plans, ensuring that the solutions developed can be realistically executed by Yachana Foundation.

The Challenge and Our Collaboration with Yachana Foundation

The Creative Service Club conducts participatory research and learning with local non-profits, both remotely and on-site, to identify opportunities and prioritize challenges. This collaborative process involves sharing tools and frameworks on creative problem-solving, innovation, organizational design, and systems thinking with the local community.

Our Process:

  • Participatory Research:
    • Engaging with Yachana Foundation and the local community to gather insights and understand their unique challenges and needs. This involves remote and on-site interactions to build a comprehensive understanding of the context.
  • Collaborative Learning:
    • Sharing our expertise in creative problem-solving, innovation, organizational design, and systems thinking through workshops and training sessions. This empowers the local community with the skills and knowledge to address their challenges effectively.
  • Identifying Opportunities:
    • Working closely with Yachana Foundation to identify key opportunities for impact. This involves prioritizing challenges that align with their goals and have the potential for sustainable and meaningful change.
  • Prioritizing Challenges:
    • Based on the insights gathered, we collaboratively prioritize the challenges to be addressed during the Gratitude Gathering. This ensures that our efforts are focused on the most critical and impactful areas.

Join us in this transformative learning journey where you will not only enhance your skills but also contribute to the sustainable development of the Amazon rainforest and its communities.
