The “Placemaking 4 Inclusion Cookbook” is a resource designed to empower youth workers and urban professionals to engage young people in placemaking activities. It provides tools and activities aimed at fostering the social inclusion of young people from diverse backgrounds through creative and collaborative approaches. The goal is to help communities co-create sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant public spaces that reflect their unique identities.

The cookbook offers a range of non-formal educational activities and practical tools that have been tested and adapted by the project partners, covering topics such as public space evaluation, community engagement, and urban activism. Each activity encourages active participation, critical thinking, and teamwork, providing a hands-on approach to learning about placemaking and its impact on urban life. The cookbook also includes digital resources, such as an augmented reality map and an online learning space, to further support learning and engagement.

By using these resources, youth workers can guide young people in exploring and reshaping their local environments, helping them develop a sense of ownership and agency while promoting more inclusive and accessible urban spaces.
