iMagination Method
iMagination Method
“Learning how to iMagine” can be approached as a methodological question.
Since its inception, the iMagination Week method has evolved to better meet student’s needs for their personal and professional future.
It is a 5 days hands-on method that alternates inspirational talks by world class experts and workshops to learn creative tools, facilitated by experienced lecturers.
Each day of the week is devoted to a specific step of the method and the entire learning journey is about 50 hours in total.
Students will work in teams, to transform themselves and transform the ecosystems towards the responsible world they want to see, by creating a responsible innovation project.
The method draws its sources from several conceptual frameworks: such as Philosophy, Coaching, Visual and Performing Arts, Human Centered Design and Design Future.
The transdisciplinarity approach that unfolds throughout the week is absolutely necessary to truly develop imagination. It is reinforced by the intervention of the many experts from the Arts, Science, Philosophy, Social Sciences, Fashion, Politics, Media and Gastronomy fields to say a few, embedded in the iMagination method.
Strong from these conceptual frameworks, the current iMagination method is based on four fundamental pillars: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and inquisitive posture.
On the completion of this program, students will have acquired 20 competences and critical skills, that can be categorised under these 4 pillars.
Each of these critical skills and competences will equip students to become authentic, powerful and responsible leaders, leaders with a visionary spirit and capable of creating the responsible world they want to see.
In practice, students are divided into teams of 6 in their tutored groups. As a team, they will team up and cooperate to complete all the steps of the method and carry out their responsible innovation project. The best responsible innovation projects are presented on stage on the last day during the closing ceremony.

At the end of the week, each team presents its project in front all the rest of the group. The other teams in the group and the tutor give them a score based on an evaluation grid.
By pool, the 5 best will present their project on Friday, and the projects will be submitted to the audience for a live vote to determine the winning responsible innovation projects of the week.
At the end of the seminar, all students receive the DesignThinking-iMagination method in digital version.
These resources allow students to capitalize on their new knowledge and apply it at other stages of their academic career, or for their professional project.
In line with the objectives set, we wish to develop their visionary spirit and transmit to them strong creative techniques, which they can use in their future life as managers and citizens.
