The Innovation Workshop Buffet is back. Join us for the first virtual session of the new IWB season.

The Introduction to Human-Centred Design Workshop, facilitated by Camila Perez Peña, explores how the Human-Centred Design framework can allow you to perceive the world through the lens of others, build deep empathy and generate impactful solutions that reflect the voice of your users. Regardless of your background... we are all designers!

Join our session and discover this valuable approach that will allow you to define and understand the real problem to be solved in any context or situation that involves humans. No matter how simple or complex your challenge is, Human-Centred Design is a wonderful tool to guide your innovation journey.
