Co-design and education expertise.

Our co-design methods put children at the heart of the design process, ensuring meaningful collaboration that responds to their lived experiences. By pairing design expertise with participation, we draw on children’s local knowledge so that they feel valued, and develop a sense of belonging, manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga for their local environments.

Through co-design, we work alongside schools to embrace cultural narratives, school values and integrate the key competencies of the New Zealand curriculum. We empower tamariki and rangatahi to become active citizens to in turn affect positive change in their schools, neighbourhoods and communities.
