The UNLEASH Innovation Hub
Our Innovation Hub is where our community can learn how to develop the skills needed to drive impactful change, get to connect with other alumni, and find resources to bring UNLEASH to their local communities.
Through a series of e-learning content and workshops, and with the support of UNLEASH Experts, youth around the world can create a curated learning journey for the kind of impact they want to make.
Regardless of the type of impactful change they want to make, UNLEASH Talents learn the essentials to make their ambition a reality:
Creating a tangible plan for the impact they want to create
Adopting a human-centric approach to designing and driving their desired impact
Managing and mobilizing key stakeholders towards impactful change
Measuring and communicating the impact to key stakeholders
The Innovation Process
The content available in the Innovation Hub follows the UNLEASH Methodology, based on human-centered design principles. It focuses on the very last stage of the process:
Defining a problem based on user needs and clear insights
Brainstorming and selecting ideas to solve the problem
Creating simple versions of the idea to understand how it will work in real life
Testing the solution with users, learning, and adapting
Planning and launching impactful solutions
