Held a Let's Hack Our Play Workshop with play experts across different fields – designers, educators, play advocates, builders and artists where we shared our initial findings of our research and participatory design processes. It was truly exciting and inspiring to hear everyone's perspective about play and what play means to different individuals. Thank you to everyone who came and brought their positive energy and inspiration last night. Our team is all geared up to reimagine our Singapore play culture! 😊 . Presented by Lien Foundation and in collaboration with St. James Church Kindergarten (SJCK), Hack Our Play aims to reimagine and rethink the design of play spaces in Singapore – an opportunity to create a new model for a playscape in Singapore where we design with children and not just for them. .

Our Project Associate, Larry @larlar1988, leading a Walking Conversation with Tampines residents to find out more about their neighbourhood this morning! As one of the main methods we adopt to involve people in the design of their built environment, Walking Conversations is particularly useful for us to understand residents' relationship with their neighbourhood since they are the main users of the spaces. .

"Empathy is fostered when we involve the users in the decision-making process," shared one of the participants at our workshop organised by Youth Corps Singapore last weekend. We were pleasantly surprised by the responses we received at the workshop and hope that we've inspired you to adopt Participatory Design approach in your future community projects! . Have a good weekend ahead! 😊
Resident of Tampines – Contrary to what most hawkers and shop owners understand, the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) indirectly affects them through the building and upgrading of community facilities in their neighborhood even if they do not reside in the area. Everyone has a stake in building the neighbourhood including these individuals who might merely perceive the neighbourhood as their ‘workplace’ and has no say in NRP. . After elaborating more about NRP to Uncle Koh and emphasising the importance of his voice, the soft-spoken owner of a traditional pastry shop, expressed his hopes for better improvements to the loading bay behind Tampines Block 475. Currently unsheltered, he shared that it has been a hindrance to all the shop owners during rainy days. “It’s a good initiative by the government. I don’t expect much from the renewal programme. I'm satisfied as long as the improvements can better facilitate our daily business activities and benefit the residents, even if the changes are minimal." . After concluding the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) Discussion, the series of short stories featuring Tampines residents and their hopes for NRP will continue as we proceed to the next phase of the project. Stay tuned for more updates!
#PIDatwork – "We need to 'hack' and 'disrupt' traditional civic citizen participation approaches and methods in order to make it relevant and purposeful for people." Our Director and Co-founder, @mizahrahman_ took the stage alongside other inspiring and distinguished panelists at NewCities Summit at Songdo, Korea. 😊
