With a focus on tackling real-world issues, the practical experiences prepare students to perform in organizations at an international level upon graduation. The process of discussion and debate, while analyzing successful case studies, empowers them to develop not only theoretical knowledge of the field, but the skills that are so vital in daily professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Centered around collaboration, students work hand in hand with both teachers and fellow students to produce products, services or research that really matters. The scope and topics of each one varies widely, especially as students are encouraged to explore their own individual interests in diverse contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no surprise then that the projects our students take part in are unique and highly original from one year to the next. Even so, they often share a common thread, fueled by each student\u2019s personal passion to become a force of positive change in the world. Below are two examples that fully illustrate the potential of these projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AR for Sustainable Development Goals<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, students were tasked with using modern technology to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in younger generations. Inspired by the list of 17 long-term objectives established by the UN in order to promote global equality, prosperity and sustainability, students Maxime Le Lijour, Orph\u00e9e Sadegh Zadeh and Jean-Baptise Bove decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-global-public-affairs\/about\/news\/using-augmented-reality-raise-awareness-sustainable-development-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create filters on social media to connect with young people<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team realized that in order to change the world, it is vital to get future generations on board, and their project leveraged the power of social media to do just that. Inspired by Instagram and its popular filter feature, the IE University students decided to implement augmented reality (AR) technology in order to catch the eye of younger social media users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the support of the community at IE University, these three pioneers were able to overcome the many challenges they faced. Empowered by their own passion, talent, contacts and the University\u2019s resources\u2014namely the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/university\/campus-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Campus Life<\/a>, the<a href=\"https:\/\/li.ie.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Learning Innovation Lab<\/a> and the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/sustainability\/clubs\/sdg-club-plastic-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> SDG Club<\/a>\u2014the students developed their unique Instagram AR filter. Now, even after the team\u2019s graduation, the project has taken on a whole life of its own. IE University is even looking forward to implementing the AR-powered filter across other social media platforms such as TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New materials for educational purposes and beyond<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While studying his Master in International Development at IE University, Ricardo Maia embarked on a research project exploring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-global-public-affairs\/about\/news\/new-materials-educational-purposes-beyond\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pedagogical innovation in a technology-driven world<\/a>, in collaboration with two professors at IE University. The project aimed to create new educational materials which facilitate hybrid learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, when millions of students across the world were unable to access face-to-face education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with Borja Santos, Executive Director and Professor at IE University, and Patricia Gabaldon, Vice-Dean of Pedagogical Innovation, Ricardo Maia helped to develop informative pedagogical materials, with a focus on international development. They created infographics and educational materials using a Results-Based Financing (RBF) approach. This unique method helped to improve the quality and impact of the social program by linking development funding to predefined results, driving efficiency as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Ricardo\u2019s passion, and the success of this project, he continued to work on it after graduation, taking on a role of Research Assistant for Pedagogical Innovation at IE University. Together with Borja Santos and Patricia Gabaldon, Ricardo explores how, in today\u2019s world, technology can provide innovative tools that may help students learn more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project explored the ways in which online materials provide pupils with a more adaptable learning experience, making creative use of technology a possible solution. His goal was not only to transform the classroom by creating tools for education, but also to help the world rethink its use of technology in general and encourage more innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Innovation and development is the future<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These projects are just two examples of the amazing work carried out by students in the Master in International Development at IE University. Their projects demonstrate the skills and expertise acquired in this program, and each participant\u2019s passion for positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the active approach to learning in this master\u2019s program, young professionals are equipped with all the skills necessary to excel in their future careers, and become the positive force for change which the world needs during difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849
