For the past year I have been working on an idea about bringing high quality design and entrepreneurship education available worldwide. This is the current state of the idea. Please get in touch e.g. via email ville at banana . fi if you are interested in making this reality in your company, school or neighborhood. It's a big vision and we need your support.

Rural Design & Entrepreneurship School Concept Beta
1. “Our first fundamental problem for
development is fatalism. People do not
believe they can influence their future.”
Mwalimu Musheshe, Founder
Uganda Rural Development & Training Program
14. Grand Solution
Global community of local
innovators who are
connected via the thousands
of D+E Schools in containers
all around the world.
Together we can tackle the
wicked problems we face
today and in the future.
15. What is D+E School
in a Container made of?
Space Projects
+ Tools
Facilitation
16. Container = Space
First, we need a space. Container is a place where
there are tools to build prototypes and a media kit
to broadcast ideas everywhere. That is the base for
a feeling that everything is possible.
17. Facilitation
Facilitation's job is to give
permission to think and act
differently. Permission is given
by building trust among the
people. We facilitate different
kinds of workshops from
brainstorming to photography
and from prototyping to sales in
order to inspire making ideas
into reality. Good facilitation
gives the feeling that everything
is possible.
18. Projects
To think and act differently we need projects.
We need to do things we are excited about to
find the optimal moment when the challenges
and skills meet. It is when you feel like you have
all the time in world while the time flies. You are
present. And feel that everything is possible.
19. User Cases
1. Company
2. School / Municipality
20. How could a company benefit
from D+E School in Container?
21. How could a company benefit
from D+E School in Container?
To companies we offer Leadership and Creativity
training. We do participatory processes with
employees and customers. Space & Time &
Permission to think and Act Differently.
22. How could a school benefit
from D+E School in Container?
23. For schools we offer Entrepreneurship and
Creativity training via workshops on different
subjects that are linked to everyday curriculum.
Idea is to apply theory into practice by doing
real life projects that develop the community
and the individual participant. Space & Time &
Permission to Think and Act Differently.
24. I need help making this happen.
We are looking for first partners
to co-create the prototypes.
If you want to make it happen in
your place, please get in touch!
