Understanding reality and testing ideas
India Switzerland Social Innovation Camp
Why
Everything, from the tools we use and the ways we do things, is evolving rapidly. As a result an important role of education is to help students develop the skills which help them get their feet on the ground quickly in a new environment and propose solutions.
In the 21st century,
India is going to be a home to one-fourth of the world’s population.
The country faces huge challenges: the unplanned growth of cities, pressure on environmental resources, access to drinking water, sanitation, education, and medical care. India’s long and rich tradition in social entrepreneurship provides a fantastic place to explore existing and potential social innovations. INSSINC enables participants to discover complex societal challenges from the bottom-up starting from the communities’ needs.

Breaking a technology-driven paradigm
Designing successful solutions for social issues cannot be made remotely over the night, with a top-down approach. Embracing so many cultural, social and economic constraints is a very powerful but challenging human-centered design experience. Going back to the beneficiaries to demonstrate and test prototypes enable participants to validate/invalidate their assumptions. Eventually, building a better understanding of the problem statement.
