About this webinar
Not every young person connects with play in the same way, and yet so many public spaces are still designed around a “typical” user who doesn’t truly reflect the community. Flipping the focus: crafting play spaces for users who don’t fit the mould explores how people-centred design can better support teens, girls and other underrepresented groups through spaces that feel inviting and genuinely fun.
From quiet nooks and cubby-style retreats to active zones, ninja elements, and fitness-led play, we’ll unpack what it takes to create spaces that feel right for a wider range of ages and needs. We’ll explore therelationship between play and exercise, how different events and challenges stimulate a variety of developmental needs, and smart design choices that cater to diverse social and sensory preferences.
Attendees will leave with practical tools and design approaches that lift a play space beyond the standard brief; creating environments that are more inclusive, more engaging, and better for everybody.
