Objectives
„We move it!“ asked how towns must be shaped, so that young people can enjoy an active urban mobility and move around affordably, independently, environmentally friendly and healthy. The project especially reached out to teenagers with a less possibilities of participation and supports them with the help of youth workers. Municipal authorities got in touch with the teenagers and their requests and collaborated with them in various fields, which is particularly important when it comes to questions of healthy urban mobility.
Umsetzung
The teenagers researched their surroundings in three Austrian towns – Klagenfurt, Villach and Wörgl – and analysed their possibilities for an active mobility. Afterwards they developed project proposals, which they evaluated in collaboration with town staff and politicians on equal terms and decided upon the projects to be implemented to improve the mobility situation of the youth. Due to comprehensive exchange between the towns, mutual learning was enabled. In the end, the project results were provided to other towns in the form of guidelines and at a conference.
Partnership
„We move it!“ was initiated by the Austrian Healthy Cities Network. The implementation took place in collaboration with the nationwide network Offene Jugendarbeit (bOJA) and queraum. kultur- und sozialforschung. Klagenfurt collaborated with the local girls' centre, Villach with the local youth centre ju:Z and Wörgl with the ZONE Wörgl.
