20. Design Thinking Process Workshop

-
Today was an extremely very interesting day. 
I would have never imagined such a great experience.
At first, when I heard that the workshop will last six hours in a row, I was really shocked and stressed out. I was thinking about how boring and exhausting the day will be. But actually, after the first part of the workshop, I realized that it's really fun and didn't feel the time going at all. 

Mr.Yassine Maghnouj is a very talented young Moroccan entrepreneur who has a lot of knowledge about Design in general.




 Today, he shared with us his level of expertise and his incredible skills in the Design Thinking process.
He made a very interesting approach in order to make us learn the basics of Design thinking.
The "Wallet" activity was an exciting experience where we learned the theory/rules and the practical part at the same time. Even though we stopped at the prototyping and didn't finish our product to reach the production part but, I still have earned too many principles, ideas and rules of Design thinking that helped me a lot with getting my partner's prototype done. 




I learned too much about how to start thinking about a Design from scratch:
How do we get the input from a specific client
How to be tolerant and open to ideas
How to focus with one task
How to take the client’s feedback into consideration
How to make the client feel and connect with the designed product and so on …



 I'm really grateful and thankful for this opportunity. I know it's a lot of effort and time spent in this experience from both the professor, Mrs.Vesna Dragojlov who coordinated and organized this activity and Mr.Yassine our guest.
I hope I'll have the chance to have another experience with design in the future so I can apply what I've learned today.

56. Podcasts you will love

Working out?  All of the above activities are always, and mainly accompanied by my list of saved podcasts.  I do enjoy listening to them because they keep me focused on what my hands and the rest of my body are doing (magical !) When I was a student, I took part in a radio show where I used to talk about the Tunisian culture and its different aspects in a Moroccan university, and it was fun!  Since then, I started enjoying listening to the voices without putting any faces on, and it's amazing.  Only a few senses are engaged in this process.  I was lucky to find some recommended podcasts from my friends, random internet users found on Google, automatic suggestions based on my search history and word-of-mouth.  Through this blog entry, I would like to do the same and share some of the shortlisted podcasts, for whom it might interest:  1.

49. Nos fiançailles: tout, lui et moi

Image
Aujourd'hui, en recevant les photos de nos fiançailles, je parcours les différents albums et je me remémore tous les moments vécus, les blagues racontées, les taquineries partagées et les émotions dégagées pendant cette soirée charmante. Un peu plus de 5 mois de préparatifs, commémorés par cette cérémonie regroupant famille, ami-e-s et collègues. Cela a commencé par le choix de la date, le choix de la bague et les accessoires, ensuite la conception des robes, la sélection des fournisseurs, les profondes recherches, et les heures passées sur Excel pour centraliser toutes ces informations. Ce fut un grand projet dont les fiançailles étaient la cérémonie de clôture (une blague à ne pas faire au bureau!)  Les jours précédant l'événement, on ne parlait que de ça. A table, par messages, pendant les weekends et même pendant les pauses au bureau, la cérémonie des fiançailles était toujours la star des discussions. Pas une seule robe, mais deux!  Ma tante Meryem a toujours été la styli...

35. Once AUIer, Always AUIer

I have been scrolling through my social media the past two days and all that I have been seeing was the pictures of Al Akhawayn University's 22nd commencement ceremony. My friends, their friends, their families, their loved ones ... It reminded me of myself one year ago, in the exact same place.   Photo/ Ouejdane Sabbah After four long years of hard labor, bitter coffees, illimited hot salty tears, tight deadlines, tough individual and group projects, tens of papers and thousands of words, a magical moment happened.  The moment I was holding the Tunisian red beautiful flag walking through the gymnasium where the ceremony was held, where hundreds of proud parents were impatiently waiting to hear their children's names graduating and where the AUI experience was about to end for some of us.   I could remember holding my tears in public just to avoid the panda eyes because of the mascara.  I could see myself in 2014, as a freshman, di...
