Real family experiences are the best blueprint for designing better destinations, hotels, and community spaces. Participatory research invites children and parents to become co-creators—not just survey respondents. By involving families directly in evaluation and design, we uncover fresh ideas, hidden frustrations, and opportunities for innovation that traditional research methods might miss.
Children can share what excites, comforts, or challenges them through drawings, storytelling, and mapping. Parents highlight practical needs, emotional experiences, and decision-making factors. Together, their voices reveal how environments support or hinder family well-being, mobility, and joy.
At Kid-Friendly World, we lead participatory research projects that build trust, engagement, and real-world relevance. Through community walk-throughs, pop-up workshops, mobile feedback tools, and co-design sessions, we create inclusive opportunities for diverse families to contribute meaningfully to evaluation and planning.
Our participatory research services include:
• Organizing child- and family-centered workshops and mapping sessions
• Running pop-up evaluation stations at events and venues
• Facilitating storytelling and creative input activities
• Designing and managing co-creation projects for kid-friendly improvements
