Field study/Etnography

Self organised trip to a place relevant for your project. Think about how your different ideas would work in this context? Take inspiration! What seems to be working well? What do the kids do? What do they play? What seems to be interesting/engaging/important to the kids?

As Eva-Lotta mentioned, the terrain and landscape might tell a lot about where the kids actually play, e.g. traces of play in the bushes or if an area just seams to be less used. 

Bring camera(mobile) and notebook.

Here is paper about children's mobile phone use at playgrounds from 2008

One option might be to go to a "miljonprogram" area.

Examples of playground that might be interesting (in swedish) 

Other places: Eriksdalsbadet, Husbybadet, Kindergardens (need personal contact in advance)

Remember:

• Present your self and what you are doing whenever approaching so people knwo why you are there and what's your intentions. (students from KTH, IxD course, project)
• Photographing is sensitive, especially when it involves children. Photograph STUFF, take notes about children!
• If you need to talk to children, ask their parents first.
• Kids tends to say what they think that you want them to say.
