Liepaja Youth Forum “My Future City”

Liepaja Youth Forum “My Future City”

The first round of the second Liepaja Youth Forum “My Future City” has ended, in which preschool and primary school children depicted their thoughts and dreams of what they would like to see in certain buildings of the former “Liepājas Metalurgs” plantthrough creative works.

11 Liepaja educational institutions participated in the second Liepaja Youth Forum.

Most of the children drew and designed amusement parks, water parks, multipurpose sports grounds, cafés, libraries while adding various interesting things to them, such as cats. There was also a botanical garden with butterflies, an engineering school in the old metal breaking building. There was also a vision to restore metallurgy, but the most unusual idea was about utilising three old openhearth chimneys – a glass platform would be built above the chimneys, where a café would be located, an elevator in one chimney, while the others would have a spiral slide, one inside and the other outside.

🚩 From November 28, the creative ideas of the young Liepaja residents about the future of “Metalurgs” will be on display on the third floor of shopping centre “Kurzeme” in a specially arranged exhibition, and in spring 2023, pupils from secondary and vocational schools will also be involved.
