Introduction to Design Thinking
Malwina Wojciechowska is a language educator, researcher, and cultural mediator whose career has been shaped by a deep curiosity about how people understand one another - and how language can either bridge or widen that understanding. With roots in Poland and a home in Portugal, she has built her work on the conviction that teaching is not merely the transfer of knowledge, but a process of fostering dialogue, inclusion, and personal transformation.
She holds a Master’s degree in English Studies, with a specialization in translation and interpretation, from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw. A scholarship from the Chinese Government took her to Yunnan University in Kunming, where she immersed herself in a new linguistic and cultural environment. There, she explored themes central to her professional trajectory, including intercultural communication, language acquisition in diverse classrooms, and the teacher’s role in navigating linguistic complexity. This experience clarified her vocation and strengthened her belief in the power of language as a tool for inclusion across borders.
She is currently pursuing a PhD in Language Teaching at NOVA University of Lisbon, where her research focuses on multilingualism and education for global citizenship. Her work examines how cognitive linguistics and translanguaging support second language acquisition and inclusive, culturally responsive pedagogy. She is deeply committed to innovative teaching and active learning methodologies that engage students intellectually, emotionally, and socially in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
In Portugal, she has developed a multifaceted career spanning teaching, mentoring, and consulting. At Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon, she teaches at the LCT Soft Skills Lab, where she delivers courses such as Academic English, Public Speaking with Theatrical Techniques, and Introduction to Design Thinking. Through these roles, she supports learners in developing essential transversal skills, including emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership, always placing the learner at the center of the educational process and fostering both academic development and personal growth.
She is also a research assistant at CIES-Iscte and a member of the IN-Iscte project, through which she leads art-based workshops on inclusion and identity and teaches English courses at LIA - Labs for Academic Innovation. These courses are of her own authorship and are grounded in original, research-informed methodologies.
Her academic and pedagogical work reflects a broader interest in the cognitive and emotional dimensions of language. She is particularly engaged with contemporary pedagogy, transformative education, and educational psychology - fields that inform both her research and teaching practice. Through this work, she seeks pedagogical innovation and remains committed to inclusive educational practices and intercultural dialogue, creating learning spaces that foster not only knowledge, but also agency, belonging, and meaningful human connection.
