reworld your neighbourhood

Help redesign your neighbourhood! ✏️✨

Bring your ideas, creativity, and opinions. Let’s make the space around us work better for young people.

Reworld Your Neighbourhood is a playful project transforming the Dandenong Library into a pop-up urban play design studio. Through music, games, role-play, and creativity, you’re invited to participate, explore, and imagine new ways of being in your city. All identities welcome—come as you are.

Meet play designers from RMIT’s future play lab who are exploring how people experience play, creativity, belonging, and social connection in everyday public spaces—and they’re curious about your experience. If you’re interested, you may be invited to take part in a casual interview during or after the event. There’s no pressure: you’re welcome to attend without participating in the research.

Join us on Thursday August 20 at Dandenong library to play, make things, meet others, and share drinks and snacks.
