ALC took part in the Master’s Degree in Design for Change at Kunsthal Bilbao
As part of the Master's Degree in Design for Change at Kunsthal Bilbao, ALC gave a session entitled ‘Social innovation approach to tackling complex challenges’.
It was led by Julen Larrañaga, Mikel Álvarez and Beñat Oiartzabal, project coordinators at ALC, who shared with the students the fundamentals and tools of the systemic social innovation approach promoted by the centre.
The aim of the training was to introduce students to methodologies that enable them to understand and transform complex ecosystems through collective intelligence, deep listening, shared interpretation and co-creation. Through participatory dynamics, ways of generating sustainable change in line with the needs of communities and organisations were explored.
During the workshop, participants used K-Tool, a digital tool developed by ALC and Bestiario that helps organise and visualise complex information about social innovation ecosystems. This tool provides a better understanding of the connections between actors and projects, identifies the factors that drive or hinder change, and assesses the impact of actions in real time.
Students were able to experiment directly with the tool, reflecting on its potential to improve collaboration, strengthen decision-making, and foster a culture of continuous innovation.
