This research examines pedagogical practices in higher education design to integrate innovative, collaborative, and digital approaches addressing contemporary challenges. It emphasizes responsible innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary, which are essential for stimulating creativity and preparing students for successful professional integration. Digital technology is viewed as a lever to enhance communication, accessibility, and inclusion, while enriching learning experiences. In Tunisia, the gap between traditional methods and international innovations causes engagement and communication difficulties, limiting university belonging and global market openness. The study proposes a participatory design approach to transform educational spaces into dynamic ecosystems promoting collaboration among students, teachers, and industry partners. A research protocol combining quantitative and qualitative surveys will assess the impact of these innovations. The ultimate goal is to formulate recommendations to strengthen creativity, cooperation, and student adaptability.
