The Project Young People Embellish the City started on April 18th with a paint workshop at Lund, Stortorget and continued on April 21st, in Norra Fäladen, a part of Lund with a very multicultural population.

The next workshop, this time collage took place again at Stortorget on April 25th.

Circusvagnen represented Lund at a Nordic Culture Week held in Greifswald, East Germany, May 8th and 9th, which explains the break in May.

Activities restarted on May 30th when children and youngsters at Stortorget were encouraged to create their own mobiles reflecting upon colour, form and space in the city.

This workshop was dedicated to Alexander Calder who would have celebrated his 100 birthday this year.

A similar workshop is going to be held later this year at the site of a Calder tin-plate sculpture in the North part of Lund town.

The 27th of June a Workshop was held in Värpinge. Small boats was constructed with textile, wood and colours.
