A Decade of Impact: Empowering Change through Children’s Creativity
Imagine a world where children are not just dreamers but doers - where their ideas shape the future and their creativity is the answer to our most pressing global challenges. For the past ten years, Designathon Works has made this vision a reality. Through the simple yet transformative belief that children, with their boundless imagination and innate empathy, hold the key to solving the world’s greatest problems, Designathon Works has sparked a movement.
In over 50 countries, schools, and communities, children have stepped forward to show that they are not just the leaders of tomorrow - they are changemakers of today. From tackling climate change to actively engaging within their community, children have proven to have the empathy, creativity, and drive to create solutions that make the world a better place for everyone.
This report reflects on the profound impact of Designathon Works over the last ten years, supported by data, real-life stories, and testimonials from network partners, alumni, facilitators, supporters, funders and children. From refugee camps in Africa to bustling cities in Europe, children have come together to create solutions for complex problems that adults often wouldn’t expect them to understand, let alone try to solve. This is their story. This is our shared future
