During the «86» Festival in Slavutych, there will be The Kids Urbanism Workshop made by Children Architecture School DASH! (Kharkiv) All events of the Workshop are connected and together they will help kids to turn the idea of the city upside down. We announce an Open Call for young urbanists 8 to 14 years to participate in the Workshop.

If we see Slavutych in the same way as former Prypiat, why don’t we go one step further? The studio will develop the fantastic idea of transferring the city to a new location. What will you put in your backpack if you are to include a whole city? This experimental situation will help us highlight values, work with the urban identity and rethink the past. Backpacks with items, concepts, souvenirs, favourite cafes, songs and all that we consider necessary will be presented to the public at the end of the research week.

The workshop will cover 5 days of the festival.

We are waiting for children aged 8 to 14 years.
