Future focused and human centred design: VERSO International School

In a unique partnership that unites education, design, and industry, VERSO is an international school where the future global economy and the aspirational goals of students and families, combine to create the true bedrock for what a school of the future should be. VERSO is designed to deliver a school experience that will give students the skills, the knowledge and the mindsets to confidently embrace a future that can only be imagined.

VERSO is the world’s first international school intentionally designed to deliver an educational experience that will allow every student the right to unlock their potential and be the generation that changes the world. VERSO is the first international school, to begin with this future in mind. With a commitment to designing, building and delivering an international school unlike any other, VERSO has truly turned the page.

Our approach has been to wholeheartedly embrace the research that leading schools, universities, governments and industries have commissioned in order to understand what the needs of the future will be. VERSO International is the first international school with Human-Centred Design in its DNA. In a groundbreaking partnership with IDEO, one of the world’s leading design firms, VERSO is simply inspired by the future, and Bangkok.

This workshop will be co-presented by the VERSO Learning Design Team and will explain the genesis of the idea for a new school and unpack the research influencing the concept design. We will track the journey towards construction showcasing the work our key partners have created in the physical, virtual and cultural manifestation of this compelling project.
