Department of Play http://departmentofplay.org
• Network researchers with community youth development and organizing practitioners in meet-ups and wiki
• Develop neighborhood explorers’ toolkit
• Support local projects that share common resources in Peru, Gaza, Brazil, and Boston
The Department of Play (DoP) is a working group of researchers, developers, and community practitioners at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media (C4FCM) bonded by a common value: the design of new technologies and methodologies to support youth as active participants in their local urban neighborhoods.
We aim to develop easy-to-use, open-source digital toolkits with corresponding curricula and pedagogical guidance to help young people:
• Capture neighborhood knowledge by taking photographs, measuring distances, recording interviews and constructing local maps
• Represent & Share local information as “spatial narratives” integrating digital media and mapping in an online platform
• Organize civic engagement initiatives through an advocacy forum for children and adolescents to reflect and act critically in their local communities.���
