Imagine · Architects’ Council of Europe · 2023
Under the Architects’ Council of Europe’s research call, the platform was redesigned for children aged 6–14: a simplified bilingual children’s interface, physical prompt-card decks of roughly 170 cards, and projected voting. The method was tested with a school class of about 20 elementary pupils in Finland’s Häme region in September 2023 and at a Milan museum workshop the following month.
Who took part
One class of roughly 20 elementary pupils with their teacher and 3 facilitators in Finland; children and parents at the Milan event.
What the tool did
Children photographed and redesigned their own schoolyard, worked with Stay/Learn/Play prompt-card decks, and voted on projected scenario galleries as a class.
What changed
A working children’s interface was delivered in Italian and English. The project’s own reflection: the civic-education value is real, but children’s ideas need transparent communication about what can and cannot be implemented.
