Citizen’s perspectives, especially that of young people, are often missing in sustainable neighbourhood transformation. Youths lack the mobility that most adults have in the city, and they often tend to be more limited to the area directly around where they live or go to school. Young people also lack the connections and access to decision makers that many adults and professionals have through work and social engagements. Raising climate awareness by creating and operating a climate positive circular community through dialogue and co-creation with the youth in the community and making use of educational facilities and curriculum, represents an exciting opportunity to engage the youth segment in Europe. Schools as Living Labs can open up for innovation environments and participatory urban planning, in which the focus will be on the collective, allowing local communities to understand the challenges and opportunities related to a specific neighbourhood. This in turn will allow creating active processes together with stakeholders and decision-makers, aiming to achieve mutual learning and engagement that can be used in all future community projects.
