The training aims to deliver education on global challenges and methodologies for innovations associated with the elderly and disabled populations, with focus on Autism and Smart Cities for inclusion.
This training will equip participants with soft and field skills to enable the formulation of innovative ideas to global challenges associated with the elderly and people with special needs. Participants will gain background on the global situation of Ageing and Disabilities, with focus on the Asia-Pacific region, and will be able to collectively formulate innovation ideas-propositions on associated challenges, through the design of their Innovation canvas and effective communication (pitch) of their innovation.
This training consists of 3 consecutive Days of 2h live content each. Participants engage in group work, microlearning and preparation after each day:
1. Briefing Day with Background briefings on:

3. Synthesis Days. Participants synthesize their learnings:

The methodology used combines primarily field skills on the two focused topics of Autism and Smart Cities for inclusion of the elderly and disabled populations, to equip participants with background information on challenges and opportunities associated with these global issues, and soft skills, to enable, activate and develop the innovation competencies and capacities of participants for the formulation and generation of conceptual and technological innovations.
The audience comprises of students, young entrepreneurs, professionals form the private sector and NGOs and consultants of International Organizations. Participants come from around the world, while outreach is focused on developing countries and the Asia-Pacific region.
