The Creative Technologies Learning Lab organised a multiplier event for project eDea on November 11, 2024. The event was attended by 24 students from the last year of studies in the 5th Lyceum of Volos, accompanied by their teacher Mr. Pantazis Fasoulidis.
Students participated in experiential workshops for innovation, which profoundly impacted their learning. Tailored to each group’s interests, knowledge, and skills, they applied design thinking, a profoundly human-centred methodology of synthesising solutions to complex challenges of entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship, to introduce solutions related to the United Nations Sustainability Goals. Through exploration, ideation, and synthesis, they presented creative ideas to address broad sustainability challenges, such as managing plastics, using electromobility to reduce carbon emissions, recycling, preserving biodiversity, raising awareness of poverty, and more.
Project eDea is funded through the Research—Create—Innovate Greece 2.0 action and is implemented from May 2021 o February 2025. The project aims to design digital services and content to promote innovation. Project partners are the University of Thessaly, the University of the Aegean, and the companies Design4Future and Butlair. The scientific coordinator of the project is DECE Pr. Elias Houstis. DECE researcher Dr. Hariklia Tsalapatas coordinated the activities.
