Why ycenter
learning

We believe, Learning > Education. Building/debating/implementing/reflecting/storytelling are some of the best ways for experiential learning.

What to expect
from us

Our workshops are about dissecting a business case, exploring a social challenge in Africa, discussing a sci-fi novel, socratic discussions on the latest world happenings, discussing a podcast episode and everything in between. Yes, we do slides, for those still wondering.. But they are just there to provide content, the context and experiential part comes from our experienced facilitators.

our impact over the years

Learn the process of design thinking and its application for solving complex problems. We offer one of the best design thinking courses in India, USA and Africa.

One of the most enlightening experiences! I didn't realize how much I had learnt until the classes got over. I thought I was just having fun.

Product Manager TikTok (Shanghai),
ex Cornell university

I gained tons of new knowledge and insights on both social entrepreneurship and creative thinking. The idea of divergent thinking, analogy relationships and the whole process of diving into problems and coming up with solutions is very useful and refreshing.

From weekend long design sprints to a 6 month incubator program, we custom create the programs based on audience, theme, desired goal and budget.

Custom create an experiential learning workshop

Just like you build your coffee at Starbucks, we will work with you to custom create a workshop to modify duration, content, location of workshop - In-person (our favorite style), Zoom (we have a paid version, we got you covered), Teams (it is not our favorite, yeah we said it) and even language of workshop - we offer English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, we are seriously global.
