In a world that offers little space for imagination, the creativity of children and teenagers is gradually diminishing.
However, imagination is the seed of an inclusive future, as it is a universal language that knows no barriers or disabilities. If we nurture and encourage it together, we can not only dream, but also build a world where there is room for everyone. A fairer, accessible world full of possibilities for everyone.
That's why the 42nd edition of the ONCE School Contest invites students to pause for a moment and use their creativity to imagine a more inclusive environment.
How? Challenging them to design accessible products that do not yet exist (or that could improve existing ones), with the aim of making the world more accessible for everyone
Students will be provided withthree creative, easy, motivational tools to guide them through a process of learning and creativity. By using these tools, you will harness your empathy to create an innovative and accessible proposal:
A teaching guide to foster genuine spaces for imagination in the classroom.
A digital and accessible board to project in the classroom and play as a team. Each box presents real and experiential challenges that help students imagine themselves in the shoes of people with disabilities, overcoming various barriers.
Support sheets for imagining and creating your accessible product designs.
Engage with your students to develop empathy, critical thinking, and social awareness.
Your ideas can inspire real solutions that make the world a more accessible place for everyone!
