Leren in de Metropo(o)lder | Ontwerpen aan betrokkenheid en actief burgerschap van de nieuwe generatie | Cpunt | Podium voor Architectuur

Leren in the Metropo(o)lder (LIDM) connects young people from architecture studies and design culture to large spatial-design tasks. The programme is based on four coherent objectives. Firstly, giving young people ownership of their living environment through active involvement. Secondly, connecting commissioning clients to spatial tasks in the neighbourhood. In addition, LIDM is building a network of young professionals who act as role models. Lastly, all the issues are approached and solved in an interdisciplinary way. Ten vouchers are available for local clients. This allows them to set up projects that interest a broad group of young people in their living environment. The projects tie in with different talents and preferences: ranging from practical and theoretical to technical, creative, investigative and design-based. The intended result is that participating partners make young people co-owners of local tasks. Together with clients and designers, young people explore the tasks and their own talents, and design and present these outcomes to clients, professionals, peers and people they know. At the national level, LIDM presents the outcomes and shares knowledge with the network.
