Description

Responding to the global climate action and building on the conceptual framework that combines urban circular development and education for sustainable development, the #CircularCityChallenge aims to provide young people (14-18 years old) with a platform for amplifying their voices to encourage them to become sustainability and circularity ambassadors for older generations by stepping forth with their ideas addressing sustainability issues in their cities. The challenge will collect submissions from young people starting in September 2023. The submissions will be judged by a committee of experts in circularity and education for sustainable development based on the four criteria given below, and during the final event, the winners will be awarded, and their participation will be celebrated.

The #CircularCityChallenge is part of the ERA-NET Urban Transformation capacities, which has received funding from the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 101003758 (FFG grant agreement No. 42073329). The project website can be visited at https://project.circularcitychallenge.eu/. The challenge submission portal and toolbox will be available starting in September 2023.
