Collaboration for better participation in planning

A 3-year project financed by the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills.


Collaboration for better participation in planning is a 3-year project in the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills programme Measures for Increased Work Relevance in Higher Education. The project ended in 2023.

The purpose of the project was to develop, test and evaluate teaching modules that can contribute to developing real competence to make contributions to planning. A particular focus was placed on the involvement of children and young people.

The project was initiated by SITRAP with Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA), KS, Norske Boligbyggelags Landsforbund (NBBL) and SPIRE as partners.

A number of activities and conferences were carried out, for example:
