Throughout the world, city leaders are recognizing the need for development of community spaces to improve the lives of young children and their families. Organizations such as Playful Planet https://www.playfulplanet.org.uk/ and Child in the City https://www.childinthecity.org/ are coordinating and supporting efforts of city planning that include children’s rights and well-being. Beginning in early 2020, a small group of Omaha leaders have begun to meet and plan to begin a project that will help create playful public spaces for children and residents. The leaders include Stephen Osberg, Director of Transportation Development of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Debora Wisneski, a UNO Associate Professor of Teacher Education; and Kate Knudsen, Facilitator of Metro-Omaha Raise Me to Read. (Metropolitan Omaha Education Consortium [MOEC] is the RMtR backbone). Other community partners who have committed to collaborate on the project are the Union of Contemporary Art, Amplify Arts, and Omaha By Design. Each partner or collaborator of the project will contribute their own expertise and funding for different aspects of the project. Drawing from the Urban Thinkscape project originating in Philadelphia, PA, the OUT project “brings the benefits of playful learning, which combines the enjoyable nature of play with a learning goal, to a community setting. Examples include puzzles at bus stops that stimulate spatial skills; movable parts on park benches that become opportunities for exploring language, color, and numbers while on-site signage and resources connect families to additional information and resources about the links between play and learning” (see http://urbanthinkscape.com/ and https://developingchild.harvard.edu/innovation-application/innovation-in-action/urban-thinkscape/) Goals for Omaha Urban Thinkspaces: • Create a playful sense of place in Omaha public spaces that showcases the art and culture of Omaha neighborhoods • Engage children and families with playful learning experiences will using public spaces • Increase the language and cognitive development of Omaha children and citizens Project Phases: PHASE 1: Design and Planning A.

Research Report Analysis and Publication Shari-Hersh.pdf (playfullearninglandscapes.com) http://www.raisemetoread.org" 2022 This is an UPDATE to our first report about Omaha Urban Thinkscapes, a community engagement/collective impact initiative working to build learning-rich spaces and places in underdeveloped communities in the metro. At the Learning Happens Everywhere webpage, there are embedded links to an introductory video, and a Campaign for Grade Level Reading presentation. Additionally, one can discover project goals, advisors, community engagement events, and related projects, books, and research. The Spring & Summer of 2022 found us in the community with family playdates held at the North and South Omaha Learning Community Centers, and an Advisors play date at UNO. We learned that families fully understand the importance of play and engagement with their children, and that they have definite ideas about features they would love to see at Thinkscapes. We worked with Maverick PR to create an introductory video about this project, and with a UNO Strategic Writing Class which created informational pieces and products for future use. We also worked with the Office of Research and Creativity to submit a National Endowment for the Humanities grant application to create Historical Markers at two Thinkscapes sites in North and South Omaha. The team secured additional partners/advisors including Matt Orand, Omaha Children's Museum; Silva Raker, Kiewit Luminarium; Adam Fletcher Sasse, Author and curator of North Omaha Website; Sara Vanek, Mulhall's Landscaping & Garden Center; Julie Dierberger & Olajide Cooper at UNO Service Learning Academy; Claire Brown, Child & Family Wellbeing Coordinator at The Well Being Partners; and Jade Rodgers from the House of Afro Capes and Curls. This effort was featured in the All-America City application (see that information in another submission) as it met one of the major strands of enriching non-school spaces with learning opportunities. | ||||

It is important to (in words from the film) “weave the understanding†about adversity and resilience throughout our community so that it can make “wise choices†and move from reacting to problems to responding.
