Design Thinking in Schools – Call for Proposals

The Design Thinking in Schools programme supports school-based adoption of design thinking to add value to school programmes like the Applied Learning Programme and provide professional development for educators. The design thinking projects can also be shaped to tackle school improvement efforts, including school re-envisioning.

To access the DesignSingapore Council’s funding, interested schools are encouraged to follow up with Programme Partners to share your schools’ general requirements and for them to submit proposals with your school in mind to DesignSingapore Council.
