Children and youth are the inheritors and the leaders of our communities for the future. Yet they are routinely left out of the processes in which these communities are defined and designed. However, several notable organizations work to break through this barrier by engaging young people in design activities and training.

Learning Objectives:
  • Explore successful examples of youth participation in design and planning
  • Identify helpful guidelines, tools, and strategies for working with youth on design and planning activities
  • Practice engaging with youth on a design exercise
