This two-year project aims at achieving well-being through place-making in the local primary and secondary school environment. Good design of school environments has a positive impact on educational outcomes as well as process, both within and beyond the curriculum. It influences well-being through helping students, staff and parents to create a sense of ownership and belongings to their schools, prompting positive social interaction and a healthy lifestyle. A total of 15 sites of place-making would be completed through co-creation, engagement of stakeholders, design thinking and participatory design. A guidebook, an exhibition, public talks and video documentaries will be delivered.
