Training Design, Design Thinking Workshop
Using the design thinking framework, we helped facilitate a workshop on circular economy and what a national data platform would look like.
How might we create a Circular Economy data platform that will benefit all?
A full-day workshop where different stakeholders of the circular economy met and actively participated in design thinking activities developed to get their ideas on a possible nationwide circular economy data platform.
The Philippines still does not have a circular economy policy or framework despite the waste crisis in the country. Together with the UNDP, we conducted a full-day design workshop with different circular economy stakeholders. Parties from public and private organizations answered different design thinking activities that jumpstarted the conversation for a nationwide data platform on circular economy. It was a fruitful session full of ideas, but most of all, the workshop created one goal for the circular economy platform, which the entire group pledged commitment to.

The team received a project brief that showcased the goal of the workshop and the specific participants who would be joining. Since this was a topic about the circular economy, the team personalized its design thinking curriculum to fit their context. We also provided concrete examples and specific questions about the data platform, making it easy for participants to imagine it and start conversations.
