Primary school children are to be enrolled into a new research project entitled Futurechild, part of a larger project called eForesee, an EU-funded Fifth Framework Project aimed at decision-making in three accession countries: Malta, Cyprus, and Estonia.

eForesee is coordinated by the Malta Council for Science and Technology.

Futurechild is a practical project aimed at encouraging children to think about the shape of their future and to learn how to use creative tools to influence that future.

While the activities are aimed at young people between the ages of nine and 11, the objective is to engage the interest of older members of the family. A number of different initiatives will be led by the children themselves, focusing on the environment, business, transport, outdoor space or education.

The first exercise will be a project entitled 'What will my village look like in the year 2020?'. The children can come up with creative ideas in any medium.
