Introduction
We are pleased to announce the upcoming entrepreneurship workshop, “Design Thinking for Your Creative Practice.” This two-day workshop is now open for priority applications.
“Design Thinking”—grounded in the concepts of “Creative Confidence” and “User-Centricity”—serves as a foundational element for fostering entrepreneurship. It cultivates genuine, practical capability by allowing individuals to internalize these concepts through hands-on experience rather than mere theoretical knowledge. Participants will define their own vision and navigate the process of logically persuading others to bring that vision to life. In the age of AI, this capacity is considered a primary source of unique individual value.
The instructors for the workshop are Thomas Both, David Janka, and Scott Witthoft. They are all professional product designers and educators who teach design thinking at the Stanford University d.school, the University of Texas at Austin, and other organizations around the world.
The language used in the workshop is, of course, English. It offers a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself in an international environment without leaving Japan.
