A digital license for kids

Child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg has written to the Australian Prime Minister recommending a digital license for school children to reduce online risks and tackle cyberbullying. A digital licence has already been developed by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, which believes every child would benefit from it. The PM supports it saying "A digital license is important, in the same way that your kids get a pen license at school?. https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/korean/en/article/2019/01/29/pm-backs-digital-licence-school-kids

Discarded face masks upcycled into stools

South Korean designer Haneul Kim has collected thousands of used disposable face masks from his university campus and recycled them to create a stackable stool. Called Stack and Stack, the project hopes to set an example for how the 129 billion single-use face-masks that the world goes through every month during the coronavirus pandemic can be diverted from ending up in landfill and in our oceans. https://www.dezeen.com/2021/01/06/haneul-kim-stack-stool-face-masks-design/

Seesaws Connect

A collection of bright pink seesaws allowed people to interact over the US-Mexico border, won the prestigious Design of the Year award, with its creators saying they hoped the work encourages people to build bridges between communities. The artwork was put up on July 28, 2019, and removed from the politically charged border barrier after less than an hour. The Design Museum named the project as the overall winner of the Beazley Designs of the Year competition for 2020, having considered 74 projects by designers from around the world. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-20/pink-seesaws-us-mexico-border-wall-win-uk-beazley-design-award/13072818
