The AFD Workshop Accelerating Innovative Projects

A powerful « innovation incubator », the 4-day PLAY workshop was designed as a tailor-made support for actors from emerging and developing countries who want to accelerate innovative projects and foster change in their organization. Dedicated to innovation and collective intelligence to the benefit of these “intrapreneurs”, the workshop first objective is to allow them to acquire and spread a culture of innovation.

Participants will discover various techniques to stimulate the dynamics of collective innovation and apply them in their practices. On the agenda, for example, the "creative process": how to bring out new solutions to the challenges faced by their institutions? Through a participative and playful pedagogy, the participants also experiment the postures of the innovation facilitator: how to assist other people in promoting the emergence of an innovative solution adapted to a specific context?
The PLAY Innovation workshop equipped me with many practical tools to implement, practice and transform myself into an innovative Leader. PLAY also prepared me to drive innovation and creativity into my institution, for big impact both socially and financially
Within the framework of the workshop, the participants work with experts on their own project: various phases of acceleration help them clarify and detail such project, and "sell" it effectively, thanks to the art of "pitch".
PLAY is also a learning journey for taking time and space for reconnection and inspiration through mindfulness pratices.
Moment of sharing and collective emulation, PLAY allows to create a lively and dynamic community - already more than 250 people from 40 countries ! -, which can pursue its exchanges afterward via groups on the social networks. Every participant can regularly share information on innovation, leadership, collective intelligence or creativity, and especially exchange with peers.
I didn’t expect learning and having so much fun at the same time. Thanks to the facilitators of the Innovation workshop PLAY, I now have new tools to deal with my day-to-day challenges and I feel so grateful for that! I hope it was only the beginning of a journey full of innovation, creativity and leadership !
