School visits

Ideas are a skill

School mostly asks for the one right answer. We are interested in how many a student can find on their own. We come to secondary schools with Od koncepta do produkta, an interactive workshop: students arrive at ideas of their own, test them on their classmates and take one of them further.

So far we have visited Gimnazija Vič, Gimnazija Kranj and Gimnazija Bežigrad. We are beginning to bring Shape Talk into the classroom as well, the moderated debates we otherwise run at our own events.

  1. 01

    A workshop, not a lecture

    The class works from the first minute. We set the frame and steer as they go.

  2. 02

    Divergent thinking

    The workshop rests on reaching as many ideas of your own as you can, rather than guessing the one right answer. That ability declines with age.

  3. 03

    From idea to MVP

    The group picks one idea, gives it a first tangible form and shows what it would be good for. It ends with a presentation.

One e-mail to info@globalshapers.si is enough: which school, which class, and when would suit you.
