| Zusammenfassung: | Meaningful design and valuable learning are processes with many similarities. In both, change is central. Design attempts to change the world around us. Learning changes us. In the article I explore the role and purpose of a university as community tackling humanity’s greatest challenges. I claim that the task requires design thinking. Approaching the world with design thinking should not be left for designer and engineers only. It should be central throughout the entire university. If taken seriously this means that we will rethink and redesign our ways of teaching and learning. If we aim to educate change makers, learning in a university should be knowledge building. I conclude by emphasis how in a university we should pay a lot of attention to have processes, practice and social structure that encourage innovation and creation of new knowledge. |
