Our intern who has been contributing to the Congdon DeValles school project, Sophie Varekamp, received a significant grant to create an artist-driven treasure hunt through Hengelo's city center in the Netherlands.

The idea is to prompt people to step out of their personal zones to connect with passersby.

See the research, comment on if you find it valid.
