Want to better understand how children relate to your places... OR develop your own child-friendly digital guides?
Push past the adult paradigm with our surveys and guides that use playful conversational language and ideas to reverse the familiar hierarchy of knowledge, and give children a feeling of permission to see things in their own way.
Child Nation founder Jessica Wilson works with you and your local children to develop adventure guides and surveys that respond to your locations and help kids feel they belong.
​
GUIDES
Child Nation Founder Jessica Wilson is an artist with an international profile for her innovative processes and concepts involving children. Using no-code surveys she has become an expert at building step-by-step guides for children. Her guides are designed specifically to empower kids to engage in non-adult ways with their spaces and feelings. ​
​
Always beginning with a child consultation process, the digital guides are interactive and feel story-like.
Recent commissions are a public art walk for children in the City of Ballarat, a survey of student feelings about lockdown for Monash University, and an interactive audio tour of the Abbotsford Convent with Boonwurrung Elder, Uncle Bill Nicholson Jnr.
​
SURVEYS
We develop interactive digital surveys that answer your questions about how children really feel. They use step-by-step prompts and brainstorm-like idea generation, often using metaphor-making to express ideas.
Our surveys feel like an 'experience' rather than a learning task. They switch on children's imaginative and feeling-informed thinking, drawing them into an autonomous headspace to elicit more honest thoughts and great ideas. And because they are digital they can be sent widely to grow your pool of respondents.
Responding to your set of questions, Jessica builds your digital survey within the a no-code survey platform and iterates it with your feedback. Once its published, you get realtime access to answers.
