Last year, at Future Day, we had the opportunity to design a creative workshop for 150 children with Zurich Insurance. The focus was on the question: What makes me feel good – away from screens and being online?
After discussing a few questions about dealing with the digital world, we moved on to creative work. Using cardboard, craft materials, and a lot of imagination, the children built their very own feel-good oases – retreats that convey safety, peace, or simply joy. The focus was deliberately on analog design: a contrast to the digital world, yet closely connected to the idea of digital balance.
”When children create feel-good oases with cardboard, they remind us how important analog spaces are in our digital everyday lives.
As adults, we can learn a lot from children and teenagers. We also increasingly need more Digital Balance spaces.
