workshop in a small village in the province of Pavia

In a small municipality in the province of Pavia, I led a project that engaged children in designing their dream playground. Through a hands-on workshop, children of various ages collaborated to create and model games that would later be custom-built and installed in a place they selected.

This project was a unique experience in community participation, transforming the children from passive users of spaces designed by adults into active creators of their environment.

The result was the creation of three play structures: a houseboat, a mobile walkway, and a series of stackable chalkboards customisable with drawings. These structures were placed in the “Oasis,” a special area in the municipality surrounded by greenery, a stream, and rice paddies. Already a community landmark, the Oasis was transformed into a space for connection and socialisation, where nature and creativity blend seamlessly.

The workshop offered children a valuable learning experience, teaching them the importance of teamwork, sharing ideas, and turning their visions into reality.
