Importance of Contextual Play
We develop spaces by working with the community and designing interventions that suit each location with locally sourced materials and are durable, easy to maintain, eco-conscious and creative.
The area is developed after taking in inspirations from the history, culture and current needs of the location, which allows us to design unique interventions that are multi-faceted in utility, each with its own quirky aesthetics incorporating the soul of the Community. It facilitates knowledge and IQ building among children through play.
Learning through play is an age-old concept that helps children to question and grasp concepts easier. Safescapes encourage children to explore their creativity through play and experience a wide range of ideas to question and understand.
Each playground is designed after studying the locality and the community, using sustainable raw materials sourced from the neighborhood and surroundings. The community is consulted and involved through regular community engagement programs throughout the project, facilitating in skill-development and employment generation.
Our Theory of Change
A safe space to exhaust their excess energy helps the children increase their attentiveness and attention span overtime, helping in better academic performance.
The child centric Free Play approach helps promote freethinking and lets children explore their imagination and creativity unhindered.
Our local employment only and hands-on working approach helps unskilled workers and students learn to use tools safely leading to their skill development and increased employment opportunities.
Our Safescapes offer challenging activities that help children build confidence, perseverance and problem-solving skills and promote cooperation and teamwork in them.
Knowledge centric interactive play elements promote innovative problem solving in children resulting in deep rooted learning of concepts and postulates easily and apply them in real life, through interaction and utilization over a period of time.
Recreational spots act as centers of information sharing - where they share their emotions leading to better emotional intelligence and helps in their social skill development.
The sustainable construction methods we adopt trains the community in low cost locally replicable solutions with the available resources to revive and spread the use of traditional and sustainable building practices.
“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.”
“A child loves his play, not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard.”
