Designing for creative kids - neurodivergent or not
Today, the Danish primary school system is built around a rigid structure: age-based classes, fixed schedules, and a standardized approach to teaching. It's a system driven by performance metrics and testing logic - often at the expense of curiosity, creativity, and personal development.
For years, this has posed serious challenges for children who, for various reasons, don't fit the mold - and despite numerous interventions, few have addressed the root causes of exclusion.
At 1508, we use Systems Thinking to explore complex issues holistically – including the challenge of inclusion in primary education.
As part of this work, we’re collaborating with Drakonheart – a new kind of school, breaking away from conventional thinking and outdated boxes that limit how children are expected to learn. Their mission? To transform the way we think about how children learn best – neurodivergent children, neurotypical children, all children. In this Morgenbooster, we’ll invite you into the magical world of Drakonheart and explore how design can help spark wonder, confidence, and new ways of learning for every child.
