Our Mission
Several grassroots organizations are geared towards
raising awareness of social and environmental issues amongst local populations
in developing countries. Dissemination of this information requires creative
processes that can provide the greatest impact. Greenseeds is an ongoing,
volunteer based creative initiative aimed at developing design methods
and tools that involve children in creative processes for social issues.
In order to provide appropriate resources and tools for effectively involving
children in the creative process, a greater understanding of specific
social context is formulated through fostering partnerships with existing
social awareness organizations in Developing countries. By
using creative, immersive methods and tools for informing, educating and
raising awareness in children, Greenseeds aims to bring about a change
in attitudes and actions at the earliest stage.
Reversal of negative social patterns in the long-term
requires involvement of children at the earliest stage. To this end our
premise is to engage children in the design process. We believe that by
engaging children and empowering their creativity they will develop a
better sensitivity towards their surroundings. Through innovative creative
exercises Greenseeds places the tools for ideation directly in the hands
of children and enables them to express social problems and desired experiences
which then go towards designing solutions.
Greenseeds envisions design processes as a catalyst
for social change. |
