„In this city, I lived when I was grown up“ is a workshop with children (age 7-10). Main material to be used is cardboard. As a starting point there is a blueprint of city streets marked on a 12.5 m long wall. On this wall children will make cardboard architecture models of houses, buildings, parks, playgrounds, etc... taht is; everything they think that the city of their future will or should have.

Children learn about world by copying adults. This is made in honest, simple and direct manner. If we can look, the mistakes that we are making are revealed to us this way as well. The critique made this way we are most likely to accept because the honesty and fun disarm our egotism and instinctive self-defense systems.

Map of the streets on a wall are streets of Bregenz. The visitors will see streets they know, but instead expected objects they will see city from some other reality and some other time. This Bregenz will be reality seen through the eyes of children: every-day life combined with the world of fairy tales, cartoons, toys and imagination. Children don't preoccupy themselves with,what is possible, and what not. Real and unreal has also different meaning for children than for adults.

Besides the chance to develop their creativity, children will have the chance to practice their social skills through team work. After all, what city really is about, is a constant reconection of different minds and ideas into one living organism.
