Hello!
Kids Co-designing Healthy Places (KCDHP) is a Monash University project supported by the VicHealth Local Government Partnership.
Kids live, learn and play in the places councils look after. By including them in the design process you can build healthier futures together.
KCDHP supports local councils and community organisations to engage kids in the process of co-design.
There is also guidance for schools so they can connect their classrooms to local council planning processes.
How to use this website
－ ＋Kids Co-designing Healthy Places (KCDHP) is a toolkit that you can use to empower kids to become agents of local change.
The toolkit provides resources to help you work with young people to make healthier places. By inviting them to become community health researchers and designers, their voices are elevated to achieve a collaborative outcome.
KCDHP can be tailored to different communities and topics. The resources are best suited to kids aged 8–14 (middle years) but can be adapted to suit children from a range of ages.
