Training / Education

We have led numerous workshops and training programmes, training architects, urban designers, educators or policymakers. We have worked with professionals in South Korea, Croatia, Egypt, Rwanda, Mexico, South Africa and The Netherlands.

  • With architects and urban designers: how to design for children together with children?

  • With policy makers and designers: How to integrate solutions for urban climate challenges in public (play) spaces?
  • With policy makers: how to design child-friendly spaces beyond play equipment? Creating pedagogically rich, safe play spaces, with local materials, natural elements and without catalogue play equipment?

  • With educators: How can the environment function as a third teacher? How can we design spatial interventions stimulating specific learning/ developmental goals?
