Lead Designer & Company/Organisation: Steve Lawler and Tanya Wilson, EYEYAH! Ltd

EYEYAH! is an educational platform that uses engaging learning materials and events to help children understand important social, environmental and economic topics. Through its magazines, toolkits, interactive workshops, exhibitions and even an app, EYEYAH! nurtures children’s creative and problem-solving skills in a playful and original way.

Its variety of multimedia offerings is a product of intensive research with experts, educators and parents. The team collaborates with creatives from around the world to offer a global perspective on social issues while nurturing creative thinking.

The P*DA Jury commends EYEYAH! for using design in a humorous yet sophisticated way to help children learn about the world they live in. Though modest in scale, the project has huge potential for global impact.
