The project MC-YOU – Minecrafting Resilient Cities: Innovative Youth-led Policy Process for Sustainable Europe, aims to engage young people in reimagining their cities to be more sustainable and resilient by using the popular game Minecraft as a tool for youth participation at the local level. MC-YOU presents a valuable opportunity for policymakers, offering an innovative method to involve youth in decision-making processes and allowing cities to benefit from the contributions of their younger citizens.
By developing and testing a new youth-led policy model, MC-YOU leverages the creative and educational potential of Minecraft to involve young people in local political processes. This approach nurtures creativity and practical engagement among the youth while providing policymakers with sustainable strategies to incorporate youth perspectives into urban governance.
The MC-YOU project empowers young people to take a proactive role in creating resilient cities by utilizing Minecraft’s potential and offering policymakers a sustainable solution for youth engagement in local political processes. This model not only enhances youth involvement but also helps shape cities that are better equipped to meet future challenges.
