Global Children's Designathon 2025:
an international challenge for a better world
For the Global Children’s Designathon 2025, we have chosen two themes to inspire and challenge children aged 9-12 to think about how they can help improve the world. These themes are:
Living Cities: For urban settings (like large cities or busy towns)
Living Communities: For rural areas (like villages, farms, or small towns)
The world today is facing many challenges—whether in bustling cities or quiet rural areas. These problems include pollution, loss of nature, poor infrastructure, and economic struggles. In cities, overcrowding, pollution, and lack of green spaces are common, while in rural areas, there may also be issues like bad roads and limited job opportunities. The goal is to rethink how we live in both urban and rural spaces to make them better for both people and nature.
