Masterclass on Small Spaces, Giant Impact
The design of a simple classroom or creche can have a profound impact on the quality of early childhood education and a child’s overall development. Creating a stimulating learning environment not only supports disability inclusion, it also helps identify and address developmental challenges during formative years. The masterclass will focus on simple design elements and practical strategies to make anganwadis/ creches child-friendly, interactive and accessible. It will demonstrate how play and learning can be woven into every square inch of even the smallest retrofitted room, using easy, low-cost design interventions.
Beyond design solutions, the masterclass will also explore collaborative approaches to creating sustainable anganwadis and creches by working closely with government agencies, NGOs, and local communities. Drawing from real-world projects, it will examine how participatory design processes, cross-sector partnerships, and community engagement can help create early childhood spaces that are responsive, equitable, and built to last.
