Training Module on The urban dimension and its relation to innovation processes

Trainers: Grazia Concilio, Talita Medina, Ilaria Tosoni from Politecnico di Milano

Session 1

Session 2

Before diving into complex projects such as Design-enabled Innovation projects, it can be important to benefit from a reflection and self-evaluation tool or approach. The Theory of Change is an important tool for DEI projects to use at the beginning of their journey to have a clear assessment of their intended impact and other elements that are important to their project. The session provides an introduction to the use of Theory of Change, including an explanation on how to use the tool step by step and a case study to further illustrate its application.

The training entails an initial presentation followed by plenary Q&A with innovators from the initiatives selected within the DESIGNSCAPES program.
