Acronym	CircularCityChallenge (Reference Number: F-ENUTC-2021-0216)
Project Topic	The CircularCityChallenge project will set up a pan-European competition for students aged 14-19.

The challenge invites young people to submit their own ideas for a sustainable future in their own environment while at the same time educating them in the topic of sustainable development.

Cities will further be enabled to build adaptable future visions and adopting a circular economy strategy.
