The City of Luxembourg has set up a project to involve children in designing a 'children's city map'. The project is mostly motivated by safety issues and it's not yet clear what process will be followed, but there must also be significant community involvement benefits.
The project depends on the support and active involvement of the 28 primary schools in the city of Luxembourg. Preferably, pupils in 4th and 5th grade should undertake several tasks, such as thinking of their daily ways they walk, their destinations in their leisure time and the possible dangers they might be confronted with on their ways.
On the basis of what the children will have produced, the experts in charge of the project will conduct an inspection of the respective locations and design a blueprint of the "Children’s city map of Luxembourg ". In a next step, the experts will present the blueprint to the children and discuss final suggestions for improvement of the city map.
More here, in German. Could be fun, although unfortunately it looks as if the product will be a city map for children, rather than by children. And I do wish that lead agencies wouldn't use the word 'expert' like that. If we have to have experts, in this project I'd have thought it could be the children.
