Acitivity: Build the city - children's build day
Join Simpson Studio for their Children's Build Day event at the Edinburgh through a Child's Lens exhibition.
Book nowWhat can children tell us when we give them the tools to create?
A day for children and families to make, build, play and imagine the city together.
Children don’t always communicate their experiences of place most powerfully through words. Making and play can reveal ideas, relationships and observations about the city that conventional consultation can miss.
So, for our Make day, we’re putting the city in their hands. Children are invited to get creative, build their ideas and imagine the places they would love to grow up in - exploring what their streets, neighbourhoods, play spaces and wider city could become.
Parents and carers are invited to bring their children along and get involved. There’s no need to prepare anything or stay for the whole day, simply drop in, start making and add your ideas to a growing picture of a city shaped by its youngest citizens.
What would you make if the city was in your hands?
