OPEN Play is a Open House Melbourne’s educational program for young people and youth exploring the role good design plays in shaping our community and city.
Kicking of OPEN Play is a series of summer workshops called Building our Community. Each session explores the theme designing for humanity, where kids are invited to utilise recycled materials, interesting objects and their creativity to be inspired by and build a future community.
During each session, participants will be given a design challenge and in a supportive environment, find ways to create new and interesting solutions. The design challenges will be inspired by the surrounding Yarra built and natural environment. Each child will also be able to develop their fine motor skills, explore colour and design concepts and feel a sense of accomplishment after each session.
