The challenge

An educational initiative helping young people explore, understand and imagine the future of African cities.

Young people live urban transformation every day but rarely have the tools or spaces to understand it, express their experience and contribute to the future of their city.

Our approach

Designed to become useful in practice.

From idea to lasting capability.

Develop accessible urban-learning resources.

Organise hands-on workshops, observation and mapping.

Connect young people with practitioners and local institutions.

Create spaces where youth perspectives inform urban conversations.

What it enables

Knowledge that supports action.

  • Stronger urban literacy
  • Young people’s voices made visible
  • Practical learning experiences
  • A new generation engaged in city-making
