PLACES WHERE PLAY UNITES US ALL - Zviko Kanyoka

-The case of Play Africa, "Our Ideal World"

A conversation on Design Thinking with Children approach, and how their work supports creativity while empowering them with a problem solving tool they can apply in many areas of their lives.

Our Guest :

Zviko Kanyoka is a Project Manager for placemaking programmes at Play Africa with a background in architecture. Her work is driven by her passion for supporting children’s right to the city through participatory development and by exploring the intersections of child development and the built environment.

Project Description:

“Our Ideal World” is a flexible, adaptable workshop that was designed by Play Africa for children between the

ages of 7 and 12, teaching creative problem solving. It was developed in collaboration with local and international

design thinking experts, to create customized design thinking approach that helps children understand social challenges, and how to generate,

prototype and test possible solutions that can be shared more widely. In addition to providing a powerful opportunity to engage

with local neighbourhood challenges, throughout the workshop, children learn literacy, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, and other

skill sets that develop capabilities in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and the creative arts.

Importantly, children feel seen, heard and valued as adults recognise their creative solutions to real world issues, developing their confidence as

inventors and innovators with original solutions. Play Africa has gone on to scale this programme broadly.
