Corona challenge
In March 2020, as a first immediate response to online schooling, we launched an online Corona Challenge. In the challenge children come up with solutions for dealing with boredom, missing loved ones and for parents and teachers struggling with homeschooling.
We worked with children and partners in the Netherlands, Turkey, Mexico and Tanzania. This educational challenge is based on the Designathon method but adapted to be done online and at home, with instructions for parents and teachers, and supported and realised by our global network partners. The online challenges were a springboard for the Designathon Works community platform.
