About the project
The goal of the project is to enhance established Placemaking practices to build confidence of youth to co-create urban spaces through creatively working in and with green infrastructures in four European cities; Oslo (Norway), Panevėžys (Lithuania), Vienna (Austria), and Valkenswaard (The
Netherlands).
«Trustmaking: Young creators and responsibilities for the new green transition» is a 3-years project (2022-2025) funded by the European Commission under the ERA-NET Cofund Urban Transformation Capacities (ENUTC) Call.
Taking up TRUSTMAKING as an active and applicable response to the challenges of
living together in cities, this research project aims to empower urban youth and build
capacities of city governments for the new green transition. Establishing a trustful basis
is key for well-informed, intergenerational, and cross-sector collaboration with city
governments, entrepreneurs, and civil society organizations during urban development
processes. Through placemaking practices we aim at fostering confidence of youth to
co-create urban spaces, working in and with green infrastructures in four European
cities: Oslo (Norway), Panevėžys (Lithuania), Vienna (Austria), and Valkenswaard (The
Netherlands).
Through Urban Living Labs, tools for youth co-creation of green infrastructure are identified and developed, and cross-section collaboration mechanisms are designed in summer/winter schools. Lastly, the development of TRUSTMAKING guidelines addresses capacity building in public service for integrating youth perspectives and competences that bridge short-term concerns and long-term objectives in urban transformation.
