LEaRN@Home - Design for Health & Wellbeing is out!

Welcome to the first interview of the LEaRN@Home series.  Today’s LEaRN@home discussion considers how design can support the health and wellbeing of children and teachers in schools.

LEaRN@Home Series

In March 2020 when we first transitioned into this new mode of learning and working that we're now - more or less - quite familiar with, we started the LEaRN@Home Initiative. Through this, we hope to bring to you some of the necessary conversations as we navigate through the challenges of remote learning and teaching and transition back to physical learning environments, experienced during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

We had a great conversation with our guests, Professor Dianne Vella-Brodrick, Ken-Yi Fong and Simon Goodrich in this first interview, focussing on the concept of design for health and wellbeing.
