Designathon for children
A Designathon (a design hack-a-thon) challenges children between the ages of 10 and 12 to think about big issues and topics that are important to them. They work together and come up with creative ideas in relation to the assignment for challenges in public space, which they then also develop and pitch to the deputy mayor and their parents. The children's creations are exhibited in public libraries for one month.

Clean Air Walk
During this walk, residents pass different types of streets, such as the Valkenburgerstraat with relatively high traffic, but also along streets with a different design and use, such as the Utrechtsedwarsstraat. In addition to sights that influence the quality of the air, during this walk you will also learn more about the greenery in our city.

Organised last summer. The route and information can be found here https://www.amsterdam.nl/wonen-leefomgeving/duurzaam-amsterdam/publicaties-duurzaam-groen/wandeling-schone-lucht/
