Youth 4 Bauhaus
The idea to submit the Youth 4 Bauhaus project emerged with the launching of
the
New European Bauhaus initiative, where GEYC is a partner. NEBI is a green initiative of the European Union,
bringing together the aspects of sustainable development, beauty, and
democracy under one roof to build beautiful, sustainable and inclusive places
to live together. Young people have to play an important role in the
discussion, as this discussion is not only about the physical framework
influencing the way they will live, work and spend their free time in the
future, but about the future of our planet. And it is them that risk not being
consulted.
The aim of the project is the capacity building of organisations in the use
of innovative approaches to empower and engage young people to practice
their democracy in participatory processes in regards to public space
co-creation in the city in a sustainable, greener, and inclusive way- in the
spirit of the New European Bauhaus (beautiful, sustainable, and together).
Through the proposed activities, the project refers to the
Youth Goals, mainly YG1- Connecting EU with Youth, YG9- Space and Participation for
all, and YG10 Sustainable Green Europe.
Objectives:
- To increase the capacity of the partners to involve and consult the young people in the high school age on issues related to sustainable urban planning, recreating the cities’ brownfield and unused public spaces within the green New European Bauhaus approach.
- To create one transferable methodology (NEBI-enabler toolkit), explaining NEBI and green transition to young people and teachers/trainers by mid-2024.
- To develop one innovative digital tool by mid-2024 for allowing young people to formulate, visualize and present their opinions on sustainable cities and planning.
- To include 40 young people in an inclusive and co-creation manner in the production of project results by mid-2024
