I, We, You, Play, Design, Learn:
Mapping play, design, and education mutually beneficial relationships to enhance children educational product-system design.
Conducted by Rémi Leclerc, PolyPlay Lab, Hong Kong
Abstract: The workshop is aimed at postgraduate students, research students, and faculty interested in exploring the mutually beneficial relationships connecting Play, Design, and Education, and their combined sociocultural agency as principles supporting children development. Morning activities will invite groups of participants to define and elucidate value of each principle in the light of its relationship with the other two and chart relational maps to share findings with the workshop. Participants will be invited to focus their attention onto design’s critical role in shaping narratives of individual and social becoming in an increasingly technological, yet ‘broken world’. In afternoon activities groups will identify topics and formulate children education product-system design concepts exemplifying how the ‘ménage à trois’ connecting Play, Design, and Education enhances designing for children. Outcomes will be shared among workshop participants.

Pattern re-cognition
Reliving childhood; reclaiming the world
Conducted by Jinan K B Existential knowledge foundation, India
Abstract: The workshop is to explore how children make sense of the world. Children are biologically equipped to learn the world but schooling damages the natural cognitive system - (content, tools, process & structure). Studentship in design education, especially the foundation program provides an opportunity to reawaken the senses, to become conscious of experience and to recover the natural cognitive system to some extent. The workshop may help the participants to clear misunderstanding about what constitutes knowledge, how one learn and why children needs to be left alone.

Telling stories to relax and reboot
Conducted by Dr. Sherline Pimenta, Founder, Master Storyteller & Experience Curator at Kathanika, Pune, India
Abstract:Storytelling is a stress buster for children, but children in school fall under various age groups. Children of various age groups have different attention spans and varied topics of interest. These age groups require specific techniques to hold their interest. At this workshop we will attempt to figure out how to make the storytelling experience engaging and interactive for children of various age groups viz themes and techniques.
