Dublin City Council is in the midst of transforming how people move through the city and is striving to ensure that it is sustainable and designed for all ages. The first challenge focuses on children’s ability to move safely through the city whether by walking, cycling, wheeling or scooting. Encouraging children to move through the city in this way can significantly reduce emissions and have a positive impact on children’s health.

The Council has been engaging the community in the North East Inner City to improve the experience of children’s movement through the area. This has involved workshops with children to map their streets noting what they like and dislike, and a pedal party parade.

As part of Open House Junior we invite children, young people and their families to join Sabrina Dekker and Darby Mullen for a special  ‘walkshop’ where we will walk through the city and talk about the challenges and opportunities in placing children at the centre of the discourse on movement. We want to hear what children think and the ideas they have.

No booking required. Meet at the Luke Kelly Statue at the north end of Luke Kelly Park.
