Additional information

This campaign aims to get youth organisations and education institutions to invite 15-18-year-olds to express their visions for street (re)design via a creative activity, using the collage as a medium to rethink how their favourite street caters to different users and to nature. All eligible participants are awarded a mini-Masterclass on visual street transformation by Jan Kamensky (External link), an inspiring expert in creating visual transformations of cityscapes. The 4-6 best submissions will be included in an inspirational online catalogue of best-practice examples from Nordic cities (see the section: “What will EIT Urban Mobility do?”).
