Ideation For Everyone

Ideation for Everyone (Workshop) - Explore YOUR Creative Potential

Are you looking for ideas but don’t really know where to start? Are you creative but don't know how to structure your ideas? Then improve your ideation skills and gain practical experience alongside your lectures with our workshop, which is open to students of all faculties.

The workshop offers you the opportunity to get to know and apply practical creativity techniques and tools. Whether you are working on a project, want to develop a business idea or want to expand your creative skills - perhaps even with the aim of tackling challenges such as climate change or developing sustainable solutions - this workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to realize their ideas.

During the workshop you will:

  • Learn the basics of successful idea development.
  • Get to know and try out various creativity techniques such as Brainwriting, Crazy 8s, Four categories method, how might we questions etc.
  • Carry out practical exercises to turn your ideas into reality.
  • Exchange ideas and network with other students.

The next workshop will be announced here.

Brainwriting is a collaborative method where ideas are exchanged in writing within a group to foster innovation and creativity.

Crazy 8s is a rapid ideation exercise where participants sketch eight unique solutions to a problem within a constrained time frame.

The four categories method involves brainstorming ideas based on four predefined categories to encourage innovative solutions.

The "How Might We" method involves framing problem statements as open-ended questions to inspire creative ideation.
