From 15 to 17 April, the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) is hosting an international Changemaker Ambassador Programme organised by the European University Alliance ACE²-EU. This dynamic, practice-based training programme has been developed in collaboration with the external stakeholders “DOTS Foundation” and innovation mentor Liene Kupča, bringing together students and academic staff from the alliance’s partner universities to develop skills in change process facilitation and in applying the Dialogue Circle Method, thereby supporting the successful implementation of changemaking processes.
During the first day, participants were introduced to the core principles of systems thinking and design thinking, which help identify potential collaboration partners and resources, as well as develop future scenarios to successfully initiate and further advance change processes.
In this event, the methodology and approach of the programme are being piloted in order to develop future programme series that will be implemented across all alliance universities in the coming years. The programme will offer training for students and staff in the alliance, fostering leadership in social change at the alliance level and providing knowledge on innovative ways to address societal challenges.
