The project explored the experience of lockdown, focusing on people living alone. Through interviews and surveys, we identified creativity as a key resource for wellbeing and connection.
We developed Toco, an app and website that supports users through structured learning paths designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and nurture existing interests—while enabling mutual support with friends at a distance.
With illustrated, step-by-step tutorials, users progress through course levels and track their achievements. After completing a full course, they earn a Master badge, which unlocks the ability to create and share challenges with the wider Toco community.

Project developed with Ester Balzarotti, Stefania Zanetti, Valentina Ferreri and Alessandro Massara in 2020.
