PURPOSE
Dreamtown’s purpose is to create space for young people in cities.
Our key focus is on slums, informal settlements, and low-income neighbourhoods. In these areas young people have very limited access to youth-friendly urban spaces. And young people’s space to participate in the development of their city is limited. We work to create physcial spaces with and for youth, and to enlarge the space for their participation.
All our work happens in partnerships with young urban activists. Our work is guided by their dreams. We focus on three key areas of space transformation:
Safe spaces that enable all young people to take active part in city life.
Green spaces that strengthen the resilience of young people and their connection with urban nature.
Creative spaces that inspire young people to learn, play, and artistically express themselves.
