The second workshop aimed to inspire children’s creativity in design. One of the games was ‘The Red Dot on the Climate Crisis’ and ‘The Green Dot of Climate Hopes.’ The children had to draw a negative consequence associated with the red dot and a positive result related to the green dot. This activity revealed their imaginative capabilities and tested their knowledge of climate change, providing insight into their thought processes. Each child received two sheets of paper: one with a green dot in the center and another with a red dot. On these sheets, they were encouraged to depict their future vision positively or negatively.

Additionally, in a second game, children created a model of a venue using a paper box and a toolkit, planning the layout with the materials provided. Armed with information from a lecture, the children crafted miniature paper dioramas using colored pencils and glued miniature figures into their artwork. They applied their imagination to envision the future climate and animals, inventing various ‘fantasy’ creatures of the future. For instance, children imagined a fish with long legs due to drought, a rabbit with wings to escape the heat on the ground, and an anteater that absorbs water to release it like a whale to moisten the ground. This exercise helped the children explore the potential impacts of climate change on animal evolution. Finally, students from Delft University of Technology collected these creations to gather inspiration for future designs.
