The children's voices about the city as a living environment for themselves

The project was based on children and young people in different parts of the world sending videos about their favourite places and what should be considered so that all children have access to outdoor environments where they feel comfortable. Everyone was offered the opportunity to film and submit their contributions via mobile phone. During the summer, material came from Australia, Chile, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Uganda, and Sweden, among others. The film premiered at the Uppsala Health Summit at Uppsala Castle on 8-9 October 2019. The theme for the 2019 summit was Healthy Urban Childhoods. For two days, they discussed, among other things, how to strengthen the child perspective and, in short, become better at building child-friendly cities.

The experts, decision-makers, and opinion leaders who attended the summit agreed on the importance of planning, building, and developing the city to be socially sustainable and to promote the development, health, and well-being of children and young people. This particular film helped the participants to concentrate on how to capture children's and young people's own perspectives on factors that they themselves believe are prerequisites for a good and appropriate urban living and development environment.

The project also received funding from Skandias “Ideer för livet” and was a collaboration with the International School Grounds Alliance and with Save the Children Sweden.
