Innovation Camps Report 2

JA Europe, together with all 9 Re-Value cities, is implementing yearly Innovation Camps in each city to specifically target youth, teachers and, potentially, parents. The goal is to build awareness and skills to shape local planning and design, and more broadly climate neutrality processes. The Innovation Camps aim to promote active citizenship while addressing systemic challenges associated within the 9 Re-Value waterfront cities.

The camps are aligned with city-specific roadmaps to maximise their relevance to local climate neutrality objectives. Feedback mechanisms, including surveys and focus groups, are employed after each event to assess outcomes and refine approaches, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with project goals.

In each Re-Value city, Junior Achievement is collaborating with local stakeholders to identify concrete opportunities for enhancing the local environment with higher quality and lower GHG emissions. Re-Value is activating local ecosystems to promote co-creation among the next generation of citizens and professionals, particularly targeting pupils and adolescents.

The Innovation Camps are planned in three rounds in each city, from March 2023 until December 2026, followed by one closing European event. Innovation Camps are organised per year in line with the cities’ roadmaps to ensure the highest value of input to the Re-Value project.

This report outlines the methodology and components for organizing the Innovation Camps and highlights the results and outcomes of the first 2 rounds of the implementation.
