Project Details:
Location: Sundby Harbour, Copenhagen - Denmark
Type: Public
Architects: JDS Architects - www.jdsarchitects.com
client:kvarterløft governmental city renewal project, lokale og; anlægsfonden, the urban development fond
Size: 2000 M2
Budget: 1 170 000 €
Type: invited Competition - 1st prize
Status: Completed - JUNE 2004
Collaborators: PLOT, JDS + BIG
Project Team: JULIEN DE SMEDT, BJARKE INGELS, ANNETTE JENSEN, FINN NØRKJÆR, HENNING STÜBEN, JØRN JENSEN, MADS H LUND, MARC JAY, NINA TER-BORCH
Consultants: BIRCH & KROGBOE A/S: JESPER GUDMAN, STRUKTUR

The concept of the project is that instead of using 1/4 of the project's budget, originally allocated by the client to cleaning the polluted soil of the site, we discovered that the pollution was heavy metals and therefore stable. So if you didn't reach the ground you wouldn't have to remove/clean it... we then decided to lay out a wooden deck on the entirety of the site. Thus spending money for architecture/program/effect rather than invisible waste.

2 clients had to share the facilities: a sail club and a youth house. Their desires were opposite: the youth house wanted outdoor space for the kids to play, the sail club needed most of the site to park their boats...

The building is the literal results of our negotiations with these 2 contradictory demands: when the deck bubbles up it allows for boat storage underneath, still letting the kids run/play above...

The interior of the building is very basic, with one major characteristic: the front house, which is used as common room and where most of the daily activities take place, is more luxurious than the workshop and storage building on the back corner, but still in a very puritan way. The difference is that the floor in the workshop is a standard grey concrete while in the community space it's a white concrete with white stones.

The presence of hard surfaces everywhere on the inside is meant as a contrast to the wooden exterior, almost like an inversion of what is commonly done (wood indoor, asphalt outdoor). This is reflecting the dominance of outdoor activities of the youth house. The actual 'room' of the Maritime Youth house IS the wooden deck... it englobes all the programs, indoor and outdoor.

Wooden shingles give a rough texture to the walls of this extension to a youth centre by Bernd Zimmermann - the German architect who recently completed a house clad with mirrors (+ slideshow).

Completed in 2006, the Youth Club Extension was designed by Bernd Zimmermann to provide additional facilities for an existing youth centre in Ludwigsburg, south-west Germany.

The existing building is a half-timbered structure with a prominent front gable. Instead of matching this, the architect chose to create a boxy volume where a series of angular voids reveal staircase and window details.

"Instead of a direct continuation to the existing half-timber-house, a detached building was designed, which refers to the existing building and its surroundings by joining almost similar proportions and materials," explained Zimmermann, "but at the same time it stands up to the surroundings because of the modern use of forms."

Wood was used for the structure as well as for internal and external finishes. For the facade this comprised overlapping shingles, while walls, floors and ceilings inside were lined with spruce panels to create "a homogenous character".

The main entrance is located beneath the internal staircase, which protrudes at the front of the two-storey building to create a sheltering canopy.

Inside, an activity room occupies each floor. The ground floor space is accompanied by a pair of toilets, while the upper level features a small room that could be used for one-to-one meetings or storage.

Here's a project description from Bernd Zimmermann:
Youth-Club Extension
The extension of an existing youth-club-building was the subject of this little project. Instead of a direct continuation to the existing half-timber-house, a detached building was designed, which refers to the existing building and its surrounding by joining almost similar proportions and materials, but at the same time it stands up to the surroundings because of the modern use of forms.

Now the extension is also marking the transition to the playground, without blocking off the existing building from it. Among others, this is achieved by the design of the stairway, which is distinctively shown on the outside of the building and leads over to the playground.

Inside the new building, the stairs allow a different orientation of the two working rooms: while the ground-floor-room is related to playground, the upstairs room is in line of sight to the existing building.

The new house is build as a pure wooden construction, set up on a concrete foundation slab. The bearing stucture is made of massive timber-wall and ceiling elements. To achieve a homogenous character inside the rooms, all surfaces are made of spruce wood.

On Our Wave Length is a youth-led research project exploring environmental impacts on coastal communities. This project is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund and delivered in partnership with Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland.

Our young researchers are based in Argyll and Bute, Fife, North Berwick, South Ayrshire and the Western Isles. As this is youth-led research they have complete freedom to explore the issues that matter most to them and their communities whether this be climate change, industry, pollution, impacts on wildlife, oceans and so on. They are being supported by experts including Scottish Natural Heritage and Marine Conservation Society as well as finding local advice in their communities.

To ensure the young researcher's findings are shared far and wide they will be filmed storytelling. The tradition of storytelling is that stories are passed on and so through sharing findings in this way will help ensure that their key messages are spread throughout Scotland, hopefully for years to come.

To find the latest updates follow @ OnOurWavelength on Twitter and Instagram .

Youth Work Through Sport can both inspire and support young people to take up sport and physical activity in their community.

In partnership with SAPC Sports Hub and North Kelvin Sports Development Group, Youth Scotland supports the delivery of a range of opportunities and funding to organisations using sport and physical activity as a driver to achieve positive individual and community change

Youth Scotland accredits young people and their achievements in delivering sport and physical activities to young people in their community, providing them with an qualification (young people) or a PDA in Youth Work (youth workers).

The Darnley CommonHealth Games
As part of the programme, Youth Scotland supported the Darnely CommonHealth Games, organised by SAPC.

Youth Scotland hosted multiple Hi5 Award sessions to accredit the achievements of 400 young people who took part in over 20 sports and wellbeing activities throughout the sports engagement day.

Young leaders shared their passion and skills in various activities, inspiring and encouraging young people to take up sports and be active while becoming more confident and skilled as leaders themselves.

It's been especially good for children who aren't getting to play with friends who go to different schools in the area and it's great to see them all joining in in teamwork. It's breaking down a lot of barriers. Mary Cluckie, Principal Teacher of Gowanbank Primary and LCR

This March a unique bikepacking event is taking place, the Hunt 1000. Postponed last year due to Covid, this event has been greatly anticipated by bikepacking adventure aficionados. It's no easy feat; approximately 1000km in distance, departing Melbourne, traversing the Australian alps, to finish in Canberra. Good Cycle's Head of Operations, Mark Liddle, was one of the people who had dreams of a 2021 start, only to be foiled by the ongoing pandemic. Fortunately, this year provides another opportunity, as Mark discussed his preparation and approach ahead of his upcoming departure.

Josh Babarinde is founder of Cracked it, a London-based social enterprise smartphone repair service, staffed by young ex-offenders and youth at risk of offending. He sees social entrepreneurship as one of Gen Y's most positive traits
Baby boomers may still run the world, but what can we expect from the next generations? Young western adults today are stereotyped by some as 'snowflakes' - a group of entitled, politically correct, selfie-taking, free speech-suppressing and emotionally vulnerable souls with no grip on the realities of the world. But this misses the new world they are creating. We meet five young people from the UK who are changing society for the better. They say that many in their generation stand for compassion, diversity, social entrepreneurship, true freedom of expression and opportunity for all. No snowflakes, just an avalanche of change.
"More than ever, people are thinking about their purpose and their place in the world," says 25-year-old Josh Babarinde. "What we've seen over the last five years or so is much more than 'clicktivism' or signing the odd petition. It's real action in response to the fire in the belly of Generation Y being ignited."

Babarinde is certainly full of fire. Born in Eastbourne, he came to London for university and has stayed ever since. It was while volunteering at a youth justice charity in the east of the city that he realised why so many young people there turned to criminality. "They feel backed into crime's corner. One young person of about 15 was dealing drugs and stealing bikes. Week after week he would secretly slip money into his mum's handbag. She was a single parent, he was the eldest sibling and he felt that he needed to be the breadwinner."

Babarinde resolved to find a way to bring young people income, belonging and self-worth through legitimate means - and Cracked It was born. It's London's social enterprise smartphone repair service, staffed by young ex-offenders and youth at risk of offending.

During five-day bootcamps, young people are taught how to repair smashed screens and dodgy batteries, before being challenged to run their own repair clinic. "They decide their prices, uniform and their marketing strategy, and they keep all of the money that they make. Or indeed don't make," says Babarinde. The best are invited to staff Cracked It's phone repair operation, touring workplaces such as Barclays HQ and even the US embassy, being paid to fix people's phones at their desks.

Around two-thirds transition into employment, education or training elsewhere within six months of completing the programme. And eight in ten offenders don't reoffend within the same period. "I haven't come across a more resilient group of people," says Babarinde. "These are people who have been homeless, who have slept on trains, who have experienced family breakdown, even sexual abuse, and yet they come in and they get on with their work. I'm so, so proud of them."

More than ever, people are thinking about their purpose and their place in the world

This is most certainly a leg-up rather than a handout. "We don't want to nanny them or make them feel grateful - to feel any more vulnerable than they might already," he says. "We want our colleagues to realise that they have loads of assets in themselves, and that they can use them to lift themselves out of the very vulnerability that brings them to us in the first place."

One of Babarinde's messages to the government would be to make the benefits system an empowering rather than a stifling force. (Cracked It's young people can only work 16 hours a week without getting their entitlements cut.)

He calls himself a "roll my sleeves up, get my hands dirty kind of guy" and thinks social entrepreneurship is one of Gen Y's most positive traits. "There are so many people who see social injustice and who are doing something about it. We're no longer waiting for the pale, male and stale politicians of this world."

Criticisms of so-called 'snowflake' millennials are, Babarinde suggests, often made by people who themselves have benefited from privilege. "When I think of young people, I think of the ex-offenders I work with and these are certainly not avocado on toast-eating Instagram influencers whose parents take them on loads of holidays. I had some challenging patches in my childhood. I grew up on a not-so-great estate, and I'm a product of social mobility. Some of the criticisms are fair, some of them need to leave it out."

We're no longer waiting for the pale, male and stale politicians

Work and purpose are much more closely aligned for young people today, Babarinde thinks. "We don't just want to make rich people richer any more, we want to solve social issues in the course of our day jobs. In so many ways, we're tearing up the hymn sheet that people in past generations have sung from.

"We want to build a world that works for as many people as possible. One that is fair, just and compassionate."

Location

Organisation

Carlow Regional Youth Service

Target group

Teens, Socially Isolated Young People

Goals

Using Gaming in Youth Work to engage socially isolated young people who might not ordinarily access youth services.

Development

It was widely recognised by youth workers that many young people were using video games heavily. This was particularly true of those who had undergone significant trauma or who had additional needs.

It became clear that games were significant to these young people, taking up large segments of their time, and that as a youth work agency we did not have a grasp of how best to support young people in this situation.

From here we began groups to support young gamers and these have attracted young people from a multitude of different social and emotional needs, many of whom had not previously engaged in any form of youth support.

Activity

We worked with a number of young people over several months to develop a group and facilities to meet the needs of young gamers. Together, they developed this programme and week to week we review it and improve the activities and structure:

4-5 - Free gaming

5 Group chat / discussion

5:15 - Team challenge / activity

5:45- 6 - Free gaming

6 - 6:30 - Break from gaming, young people have food (bring their own to heat up, microwave or pop into town with parental permission)

6:30 - Free gaming

7:30 - Group discussion and session evaluation

8:00 home time

In addition to the programme above, a number of 'break out' activities happen each week such as video editing, event planning and consultation work to improve our services. As one young person put it this week 'the activity can be anything and is very varied'.

Resources

Game systems and computers. These have been sourced from multiple locations, and many have been given to us as donations.

Older technology is particularly interesting to young people and three of our televisions are very old models that were free from Facebook marketplace.

Feedback

Young people have offered very positive feedback regarding this group, with one referring to it as 'the best part of my week' and another saying 'I love this group, I think it's the best thing ever because I can play games and be social. normally I just play games and am on my own, but here I do it and can be social'. One young person said that 'I don't really have friends and I don't go to school, so this group helps me to have friends and do something'.

Parents are particularly positive, stating that this has made a significant difference to their children. There are a number of young people for whom this group is their primary or only social activity and in some instances, it is likely to have changed the course of their young adult lives.

Evaluation

Each week young people are involved in a group evaluation, in which they offer one thing they enjoyed, one thing different for next week and an encouraging comment for a peer. This simple formula embeds reflection, evaluation and team work into each session.

Additionally, most weeks some additional feedback is sought. Young people are supported to run their own events for others such as game tournaments that are open more widely, and assisted in evaluating these events.

Benefits

The benefits of establishing this group or 'gaming community' have been numerous.

It has established an environment in which young people can receive peer support. This is especially significant for young people who might have limited social engagement outside of group, sometimes representing their exclusive form of social contact.

Previously, when parents or professionals sought support for young people who gamed heavily, there was an uncertainty about how best to respond. Now a clear referral pathway has been created in which we can offer a clear form of support to the young person.

Additionally, the group have worked together on a number of projects, including facilitating a Comic-Con style 'Game-Fest' event that attracted high attendances.

The benefits of the programme are best expressed by looking at the journey of young people within the group. For many it has been a turning point for their social and emotional development, and represented an opportunity for those who are socially withdraw to re-emerge into the world using the games that are so often a form of comfort and support as way of helping them reconnect with others.

Additional information The main group organiser, Tom Manning, is currently completing a thesis regarding how youth services can respond to the needs of young people using games heavily, especially those who are socially isolated.

Catch22's Community Space Challenge (CSC), which is funded by the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) has been awarded a new grant from the Office for Civil Society to manage an 'All Ages' volunteering programme.

The new grant of £897,940 from the Office for Civil Society (Social Action Fund) will fund an 'All Ages' CSC volunteering programme providing 2,700 new volunteer opportunities for adults to work jointly with young people.

The programme has had notable success, significantly outstripping its delivery targets. To date, over 10,400 young people have given over 103,000 hours volunteering to improve neglected spaces for the benefit of the community. Local communities have responded positively to CSC with an increasing number of adults interested in giving their time, money or resources to local initiatives. CSC All Ages builds on the success of CSC and seeks to incorporate volunteers from all generations.

In March this year, when faced with an unexpected pandemic , the youth work sector did what it does best and adapted to extremely challenging circumstances for the benefit of young people. Meeting rooms, community halls and drop-ins quickly moved online as digital youth work became a necessity rather than a quirky innovation.

At YouthLink Scotland , we were keen to capture some of this work and were delighted to receive funding through the Wellbeing Fund to create a new mental health & wellbeing resource. The project engaged with six incredible youth work organisations from across Scotland who have adapted their service delivery and continue d the support during Covid-19 - specifically ar ound mental health & w ellbeing.

During the 10-week project , youth workers have been taking part in weekly group meetings with us , undertaking five practice development sessions led by YouthLink Scotland , See Me Scotland and Penumbra .

It has been an intense and rewarding project , resulting in the creation of Heids Together , a free youth work resource .

We hope this resource will increase the capacity of the sector to engage in mental health support, increase confidence of youth worker s, prov ide create and innovative ways of engaging in mental health discussions with young people which have been created by young people. We also hope it will encourage social connection, reduce isolation for young people and provide the opportunity for skills development.

SAFETY TIP 1: A suitable and reliable ladder should be used when installing your net.

SAFETY TIP 2: We suggest that you are accompanied by another person to ensure installation is safe. This also applies when removing the old net.

SAFETY TIP 3: Do not install your net in windy or raining conditions.

SAFETY TIP 4: When setting up your ladders, make sure they're on solid, flat ground and the feet aren't resting on any cracks or uneven floor.

SAFETY TIP 5: Make sure your ladder is set up close to the basket. Leaning is never a good idea, and maintain "3-points of contact" at all times (2 feet and a hand on the ladder, or two feet on the ladder and a hand on the basket).
