Stories about Children’s Days
In 2022 CLARISSA worked with 45 children between the ages of 12 and 17 in Kathmandu and Dhaka to explore how they navigate their day-to-day lives.
From when they wake to when they go to bed, the children and researchers combined the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping, mini-surveys and observational data to document their experiences in their homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods.
