"Future Forests: Youth-led Strategies to Greening our Cities" aims creating a framework where youth is supported to lead the transformation of our cities into sustainable urban landscapes. The starting point is our previous work with Nordic Pocket Forests, research into the 3-30-300 method to assess urban greening as well as our previous work in youth engagement. We will co-create an attractive non-formal methodology, framework and Future Forests guidebook, a Training Course for youth workers in Madrid (where methods will be tested and fine-tuned) & local implementations with youth in each partner city: Copenhagen, Brussels & Madrid. In CPH we did pilot testing in Husum with a group of youth and their youth worker. We did a series of workshops with the group and we tested our method which included a fieldtrip, mapping activities, interviews and scale modelling.

Kick-off in Copenhagen

In May of 2025 the whole steering team met up in Copenhagen for a couple of days of meetings, city-safaris and workshopping to start off our project. It was a good moment for us to show and discuss how our different practices work and what we would like to bring into Future Forests going forward.

Open Call Launched!

At the end of 2025 we had the pleasure to launch our Open Call for our upcoming training course in Madrid! We are looking to recruit a diverse group of participants that have one thing in common: to want to engage youth in the development of their own environments in a greener direction. We will be meeting up in Madrid for three days of workshopping, learning, meeting with city officials and seeing good examples.
