Nüdelkart
A mobile playground for emergency context
Nüdel Kart was developed as an answer to a complex question: How can we provide quality play experiences for all children, worldwide?
Our vision is a world in which children get the stimulation their brains and bodies need, to learn the critical skills required not just to survive, but to thrive, especially those living in disaster, conflict affected and disadvantaged environments. Nudel Kart is developed through research in refugees camps and asylum centrums and is implemented in refugees camps in Lebanon.
Playground Ideas
Nüdel kart is a mobile "playground" that comes apart into many different pieces, and is filled with loose parts that children can manipulate, build and play with.
With a diverse team we did the first iteration in urban refugees camps in Beirut, Lebanon. Now the Nüdelkart is used and played by a lot of organizations and children world wide. Not only children in refugees camps but also children indifferent situation, because play is the universal language of children.
Team
The Nüdel kart is in collaboration with Playground ideas with the team of Marcus Veerman, Catherine Sewell, Matt Green
