To be decided
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.

Year of the pedestrian
During the year we organize city walks and actions are organized to put walking in the spotlight. In a number of busy streets with full sidewalks, solutions are being looked at together with the neighborhood to free up more space. With the elderly and people with disabilities, we look at what is needed to make the street more accessible for them.
