💭What is your childhood memory of play?

In contexts of displacement #play opportunities are scarce. We are working to promote the right to play in vulnerable contexts of #displacement through co-design.

9. Children are so #happy to be on site, they feel #responsible and #proud of what they have contributed to #design. Such moments have a huge #impact on children as they can tangibly see that their input was taken into consideration and it is being #BUILT!

"With #codesign we are centering the voice of children, turning them from often neglected beneficiaries to be active actors of change in their communities" Dr @BLipVid @dpu_ucl

"Children are excellent observers, they can clearly tell you about their needs in a space, it is good to listen to them when assessing the quality of a space" @rlconti @CatalyticAction

“For us design refers to the entire process linked to a built intervention, including the idea and built product unlike other approaches that limit design to the act of drawing a space”@rlconti @CatalyticAction

"We always advise including playful and fun activities - children should not be forced to participate but they should be provided with the opportunities to participate so they can if they want to" Joana Dabaj @CatalyticAction
