The metal paradox and science centers 3.0

Purpose and goal

Carry out an adapted training within Design Thinking and inclusion connected to the mining industry, which will increase the understanding of the complexity of the Metal Paradox

Expected effects and result

By training employees within Science centers, we broaden the understanding and interest in the mining industry and create opportunities for Science centers to curate educational exhibitions about the mining industry and its challenges and potential.

Planned approach and implementation

Based on the "double diamond" design thinking model, the training has been divided into 4 phases: (1) a two-day training with an introduction where the participants get to know each other and become familiar with SMI, the mining industry, the theory and the methodology (2) a needs phase where the problem is explored (3) a solution phase where ideas are generated and concretized (4) and a closing phase that invites reflection and continued activities.
