Examining Skills, Approaches and Tools for Designers to Co-create with Children

The PhD project, ‘Child-Centred Design for Play’, relates to the workshop ‘Analyzing Children’s Contribution and Experiences in Co-design Activities’ by focusing on how
co-creation with children influences the designer’s mind-set. The paper describes the scenario for a ‘Be In It Together’ workshop, where children invite designers
into their life, acting as facilitators in a co-creation process to co-analyse and co-test insights gained.
Qualitative interviews with the designers before and after the workshop reveal potential changes in their mind-set, the quality of the insights gained and also
how the methods applied support the perspective of a child when designing for play.
