DivAirCity organizes its Pan-European Contest!
Who can participate?
The contest is open to any young person in the EU aged between 13 and 19 who will group in teams.
A team will be composed of minimum 2 young people (aged 13-19) + an adult over the age of 18 (teacher, care-taker, trainer, parent, etc) as a mentor.
What do you have to do?
Organised in teams, youngsters will have to design one of the five cities in DivAirCity using green spaces and the so-called Nature Based Solutions.
They will have to use their creativity to design a space that is comfortable, healthy, safe and appropriate for their needs and lifestyles.
How?
The team will participate by first having to choose one of the 5 pilot cities which will be the center of the work: Aarhus, Bucharest, Castellon, Orvieto and Potsdam, and analyse its challenges, focusing on air pollution and social inclusion.
