Master of circular design
A program facilitated by Justine Laurent, Brieuc Saffré & Fabrice Sorin
Co-founders of Circulab and Circulab Academy Manager
Having explored the benefits of circular economies, you aspire to develop an educational module on the subject. With your students increasingly attuned to social and environmental issues, they seek tools and methods to break away from current linear economic models.
Yet, after extensive research, you haven't found the perfect fit. The tools available in the market don't seem concrete, comprehensive, or easily actionable within organizations.
How can you create a more profitable business model that significantly reduces negative impacts?
Discover the answer in this hands-on training, blending theory and practice. Your students will explore the concept of circular economy, embrace systems thinking, and master practical and easily actionable innovation tools.
About the program
In this training, you will be guided to assist your students in mastering the concepts and methodological tools we use at Labeyrie Fine Foods for developing a plant-based offering and at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille for waste reduction.
With 45 hours of learning, you'll gain the ability to apply systems thinking, analyze a value chain with circularity, and create circular and resilient business models.
In summary, you will be equipped to impart to your students the capacity to approach any socio-economic challenges in a circular manner, providing clear and actionable solutions.

more information about this program
Before developing a training program tailored to your needs, we would like to talk to you to find out more about your expectations and those of your students.
We will then design a program for you, as we did for IFA Paris, which wanted to train some of its students in the circular economy and Circulab tools. This training would enable the students to make use of the knowledge and skills provided to integrate them into their end-of-study project.

Our tools are free and available on our website. You can download them here.
Your students will be able to obtain full user guides for the tools so that they can incorporate them into their projects.
