Do you understand how it might be beneficial?
-
Do you want to enhance your skillset?
-
Do you want to build on new and existing connections with other international scholars?
Join us for our final Global Partnership Scholars’ event: an interactive Design Thinking Workshop with a working lunch.
Simon Finley, Associate Director Warwick Enterprise, will lead this workshop in which he will explain Design Thinking and then provide you with a problem solving challenge. You’ll work together with other scholars using the tools of design thinking to develop creative thinking and find solutions. It should be informative, fun and a worthwhile break away from your studies!
Whatever your career plans, this workshop will be a valuable addition to your personal toolkit.
A light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Please note this event is exclusively for Global Partnership Scholars at Warwick. Please do not invite or share the registration link with other students.
