Help us design 'Youth Signs' for Medway
We're running a design activity for children and young people to design a public sign that will be shown in outdoor locations across Medway.
This will help shape Child-friendly Medway’s latest initiative to protect the local environment.
Eligibility
This design activity is open to:
- primary school students
- secondary school students
- SEND school students
- home educated students
- youth groups
- individuals.
Guidelines
Children and young people can take part by designing a sign using one of the following 6 key environmental themes:
- littering
- dog fouling
- recycling
- car idling
- plant more flowers and trees
- take care of the wildlife.
To inspire this initiative, children and young people have highlighted these issues and ideas to the Child-friendly Medway team.
You can read more about each theme below.
Littering
You can draw a picture to help encourage people to stop littering and bin their rubbish and take it home.
Dog fouling
Remind dog owners to clean up after their dog to keep the ground mess-free.
Recycling
Encourage people to reduce, reuse and recycle to keep the area clean and tidy.
Car idling
Remind drivers to turn off their engines when their car is stopped to help improve air quality.
