High5 project final conference about Integrated Design will take place in Tallinn University on 28th of August.
*Integrated Design (ID) is a novel method for problem solving that combines methods like design thinking, problem based learning, sustainability, circular economy, innovational thinking and entrepreneurship.
Program

10.30 - 10.45 Opening words. Speaker: to be announced
10.45 - 11.15 Introduction of the High5 project and Integrated Design. Speaker: Anna Laska-Leśniewicz
ID is a mindset that allows future designers to solve real problems of real people, create innovative solutions and take care of sustainability, our environment and the well-being of future generations. ID encourages to find even simple ideas to existing challenges but always in consideration of sustainable development goals.

Integrated Design is a process that consists of several steps: Discover, Define, Ideate, Implement. While designing, it is necessary to iterate steps and refine the solution. The Implementation step includes prototyping of the solution and testing it with potential users. Results of the ID process are created with the match of human’s needs.

Workshop descriptions
Integrated Design as a complex attitude to creation of (sustainable) innovation
Anna Laska-Leśniewicz, PhD Eng. (Assistant Professor)
Aleksandra Jastrzębska, PhD Eng. (Researcher)
Lodz University of Technology, Poland
The workshop presents Integrated Design (ID) methodology in a nutshell. The participants will familiarize themselves with ID fundamentals and try some High5 tools that can effectively support any project realization.
Using Sustainable Development Goals in teaching (in Estonian language)
Jaanus Terasmaa, PhD
Professor of Ecohydrology at Tallinn University
Workshop focuses on using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and set of SDG cards in innovating everyday teaching. SDG cards are a good tool in every stage of integrated design and design thinking methodologies.
Brainstorming techniques MIXER
Krzysztof Jastrzębski, Phd Eng. (Assistant Professor)
Lodz University of Technology, Poland
Brainstorming is commonly treated as an universal key to all the locks but it is NOT TRUE. Brainstorming is rather a set of picklocks that should be wisely selected for the given purpose. That worksop will be an occasion to get acquainted with some ways of generating and evaluating ideas that might be useful not only during Ideation but in general as ways of channeling free flow of creativity.
Gamification
Olivier Heidmann, Project Manager, UTH
This workshop will introduce some simple gamification techniques, discuss the advantages and limits of gamification and explore the different type of available motivation and reinforcement types.
Circular Economy
Elisabeth T. Pereira, PhD
Professor of Economics at DEGEIT, University of Aveiro
Workshop focuses on Circular Economy and its relevance for the sustainability of future generations on Earth. The workshop highlights several important issues in circular economy vs linear economy. Some industry examples and case studies of circular economy are presented. The relationship between Circular Economy and Social Innovation are considered.
Entrepreneurship - Agile Management
Francisco Oliveira, PhD Student of Economics and Management
DEGEIT, University of Aveiro
Open research in groups (with the available means: mobile phones, laptops, tablets...) through practical examples of actions or measures adopted by international companies/brands in which they differentiated themselves in the market, through innovation, design thinking, sustainability.
Digital tools for ID (in the Estonian language)
Triinu Jesmin
Lecturer of Tallinn University
This workshop will introduce several tools that we have developed for problem/project-based, collaborative learning. We will try out tools like ICT-INOV and VIE (Virtual presence in Higher education hybrid learning delivery) and participants will get access to teacher accounts.
