Challenge

The workshop had to bring together principals, teachers, and primary and secondary students. Each group had different communication styles and priorities, principals and teachers were focused on systemic well-being needs, while students needed playful, accessible ways to express their ideas.

Tools and Approaches

Journey mapping
Rapid Prototype
A key factor in the workshop's success was my ability to build trust through empathy and communication, listening carefully to parents and teachers to validate their concerns, while engaging students with warmth, playfulness (gamifying the prototype process), and creative tools to make them feel comfortable contributing.
