According to Karin Kliewer, a Downtown Planner, this initiative is an exceptional way for youth to get involved in their community’s planning and development.

The Level Up: Winnipeg program is a collaborative effort involving all of Winnipeg’s six school divisions, as well as the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine, Lord Selkirk School Division, Balmoral Hall, Microsoft Canada, and Minecraft: Education Edition. Students from all grade levels can participate until May 26, 2023.

Even if your child’s school isn’t participating, they can still get involved by downloading Minecraft Education on their device and exploring the world on their own. They can either use their school credentials to log in or access the world in the New & Featured worlds section.

By engaging youth in the planning and development of their communities, innovative approaches like Level Up: Winnipeg demonstrate the importance of incorporating their ideas and perspectives into city planning. Cities can ensure that they are meeting the needs and desires of their future residents by embracing these creative and exciting opportunities.[/fusion_text]
