Resource description:

Youth voices need a platform to express their views on questions impacting their daily lives. Focusing on mobility and public space in cities, this campaign includes a creative competition in which young people can reimagine the design of a local street through the creation of collages and visual designs/drawings.

Uses of this resource:

This is a free resource for educators and youth organisations to be used in their context with their own resources constraints.

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?”).
