different countries have replicated heritage sites (like Notre-Dame de
Paris, the medieval Louvre castle or the Besançon citadel), placed them on
an interactive timeline and gave tours and presentations in the virtual
world.

neighborhood's conviviality.

The UNEJ project (*Urbanités Numériques En Jeux*) is a 4 years project where
teachers and students discover about urban planning while building concrete

A Workshop for the city of Maubeuge in France where groups of young citizens
between 10 and 16 years old shared ideas to improve their neighborhood. They
then built them in an in-game map of their city, allowing urban planners to
see what young people wanted for their local area and discuss current issues
with them.

design their building project and reflect on the process.
