Advocacy
We have shared our knowledge and experience, inspired people, taught and learned from others, on numerous international occasions, ranging from practical workshops and consultations, trainings, presentations to large audience presentations.
We have led numerous workshops, given presentations and trainings in Spain, South-Korea, Croatia, Belgium, Egypt, Poland, The Netherlands, and Rwanda.
To create a more child-friendly world for ALL children, we are happy to consult in your city or project.
Some of the topics that we address are:
- How to design pedagogically rich play spaces, with local materials, without catalogue play equipment?
- Hoe betrek je de buurt bij het klimaat-adaptiever en kind-vriendelijker maken van hun leefomgeving?
- How to integrate solutions for climate challenges in public (play) spaces?
- How to design meaningful participation processes?
- How to design inclusive playspaces for all children, focusing on educational vision, 21st century skills, inclusion, gender equity?
