With my former Master's colleague (and close friend) Valentina Dzhekanovich, we take care of the start-of-the-year workshop for the Interaction Design Master's.
Our topics are chosen from the gaps we perceived between the academia teachings, and skills we found crucial to be effective on the job
Usual topics:- Talking design with everyone: learning to communicate about our discipline with anybody and in any context, to be able to collaborate with anybody and in any context
- Design everywhere & everything: Mindset and tools to find opportunities to bring value through designer's skills in any field through varied mediums - not only apps and AI chatbots
What's nextAs we have consolidated our role in delivering this workshop in EKA, we're now also looking at expanding our collaboration pool in education (possibly outside of design schools too: social services, business, ...)
