Social connection is a mental and physical health issue of growing concern.

This research will explore whether collaborative design is useful for activating young people’s social connection and if so, under what conditions and with what tools?

I'm currently in the early stages of this PhD by practice. I'm always interested in talking to groups or organisations who are designing with young people. Reach out at hello@callanrowe.com if you'd like to chat.
