Urban Foxes is a non-profit organization striving for healthy, inclusive & co-created cities. Through youth work, workshops, non-formal education lectures & placemaking interventions we are aiming at the inclusion of all the stakeholders in the decision-making & co-creation process of city making. The last few years we have focused on the development and co-creation of non-formal learning tools such as apps, games and workshops on the matters of sustainability and urban themes. Thereby including and empowering young people in light of the 2030 Agenda and the SDG’s. We have been using a wide range of tools to do so, focussing on storytelling, gamification, collaboration, co-creating new narratives in order to engage young learners, making them engaged, informed and empowered. Recently our President has developed, together with the Flemish Government and Medialab Prado Madrid, a beta version of a game to work on air pollution with youngsters. We use tools on the cross-section of urban pedagogy, placemaking, environmental issues and range of creative fields and youth work. Next to advocating a handful of rights that are often forgotten & neglected in the urban environment, such as air quality, public space, urban playing, we are informing and including young citizens & stimulating them to become active in order to generate a positive impact on the liveability and wellbeing in cities. 

Youth work plays an important role in Urban Foxes' mission as we believe that one can not start soon enough to involve young people in their local communities and in the matters of city making (policy, informing about urban issues). We believe that young people are not only the future but that they can be important actors for social change today. Young people have been in the driver seat of many important social movements, in the last decades. By taking the role of an active & critical citizen they can be important catalysts in placemaking actions & grassroots movements striving for healthy & inclusive cities. Urban Foxes has approximately 10-15 unpaid staff and 95 members across Europe.
