How can design influence the mental health of refugee kids in The Netherlands?
Features
Product Design
Modular Design that can be mass produced. Over 100 pieces were made in this project to be played and tested with six kids. We worked together from ideation up to production.
Collaboration
Together with fellow DAE student Steven De Windt. We worked together from concept to production. This is a combined effort from both of us. We also consulted experts from the refugee centres, child psychologists, teachers, learning centres and other designers in a similar field.
Target Audience
The pieces are meant for the kids. There is a guide that comes along with the set that assists the volunteers to set up therapy zones to assist them. In a larger scale, we hope that Vluchtelingenwerk to be open to using these pieces.
Components
It is a combination of wooden elements like poles, extension, nuts, bolts and textile. It is based on the grid we worked on and it is modular that can be packaged together to cater to a pair of children. The modularity element allows less pieces to be required if more kids are involved.
