Take a seat - youth shapes the city
Deadline for submission of ideas extended until 26 August
Chemnitz residents aged 14 to 27 have until 26 August to submit proposals to fill unused areas or squares with life and their own ideas. Communities create places and places create community - this is the idea behind the "Take a seat" project. In conjunction with the results of the youth survey and the youth meeting in December 2023, the city of Chemnitz has heard the clear desire of young citizens for "feel-good places".
Once again, projects are to be funded that use creativity to create new places of well-being in Chemnitz and turn small squares, gaps between buildings or brownfield sites into meeting places.
The implementation of the projects is intended to bring people together who are committed to creating a beautiful new place in the middle of the district: for urban gardening, playing sports, playing, relaxing, meeting friends, enjoying art, listening to music, going to the theatre, drinking coffee, learning, building bicycles and much more. A budget of 2,025 euros is available per place.
Chemnitz residents in the aforementioned age group can and should photograph a potential space, create a sketch or make a short video (no longer than one minute), complete the project application and send both to the City of Chemnitz Citizens' Office by 26 August. The most popular proposals will then be selected via online voting and implemented by the young Chemnitz residents in 2024 with the support of the City of Chemnitz.
The project can be submitted via the portal: https://mitdenken.sachsen.de/1041816
by e-mail to: mitmachen(at)stadt-chemnitz.de or
by post to: Policy and City Council Division, "Nimm Platz", Markt 1, 09111 Chemnitz
