iMagination Week

iMagination Week aims at enriching students culturally by taking them out of their environment. The iMagination Week confronts them with transdisciplinary experts, instilling a "visionary" spirit. Its objective is to help them become aware of the challenges of the society they are going to build and start questioning their contribution.

This week is dedicated to creativity and trans disciplinarity. It takes place on 2 continents (Cergy Campus and Singapore Campus) and has reached nearly 10,000 students since its creation in 2012.

During the week, students build a project in teams about the theme “TransitionS” in a very large scale (mobility, energy, education, healthcare, behaviours, etc), future of innovation and responsibility.

It aims at helping them develop their critical skills for their future professional life: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and inquisitive posture. Stimulating their imagination is key to enhance responsible innovation.

Top 3 learnings:

1. Students in our school: to help them to be inspired biding some roles models for transition and help them to be creative with a concrete project.
2. Students at any school at large: for about 10 years we have share our method in different schools.
3. Global audience: all talks, and projects our available on our website, our YouTube channel and networks because we truly believe this kind of content, should be spread as large as possible.
