Who we are? HumanQind is an award-winning social design
organisation building safer communities with children. We work at an
intersection of human rights, civic engagement, architecture, planning and
design. We strongly believe the future must be co-created with compassion by everyone
who will inherit it. That’s why we are on a mission to transform everyday lives
of communities by sharing power equally with children. Our mission is to share the power of
dignity, design, and democracy equally with children. We are bridging systems
change by social change through co-building community-centred safe school
zones.
Why? Daily exposure to inaccessible, inequitable
and risk induced school going experiences affects physical and mental wellbeing
of children. Road Traffic Injuries, mental health, systemic invisibility is
looming upon children. Even such a simple task as crossing the street to attend
school is fraught with tension, and young humans grow up believing there is
nothing they can do to change this. We learn to live with it, and often become
passive and disgruntled citizens. With such hostile and unforgiving
environments, what kind of humans – and communities – are we creating?
HumanQind is changing the narrative where young persons are seen, heard, have
an equal seat at the decision making table.
Project Details. HumanQind in collaboration with the
Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Centre, (TRIP centre) IIT Delhi
is working to cocreate model safe school zones, one in every district of
India's capital. The project is anchored by the Transport Department, GNCTD and
implemented in partnership with the Office of DM, Directorate of Education and
Public Works Department. Through our innovative Crosswalk Program,
we work closely with everyday lived experiences of our stakeholders, especially
students, to cocreate safe access to school solutions that provide a lasting
impact.
