For Aberdeen City Council’s Celebration of Children and Young People, Imagineers ask staff and visitors at Marischal College what they can do to make their vision of Aberdeen as a healthy, happy and safe place happen.
I was asking people if they would like a tour of the mural. Many people said ‘No, I am too busy’ or ‘I have a meeting’ but the people who did it liked it!

‘We were giving tours of the mural. Telling grown ups about how the inside of the bubble is how the Imagineers imagine Aberdeen to be. Before we started talking to the grown ups we felt nervous but excited. We were really happy giving tours.’
Aidan, Mikey, Ralfs and Gabrielle.
‘We were asking what can you do to make the ideas in the mural happen? We decorated cards and then asked grown ups to write down their ideas. The tree looked amazing and colourful – an Imagineer Christmas tree. We hope the adults do what they said they would.’
Sean-Paul, Katie and Keira.
Here are the commitments that the adults made to helping make the Imagineers vision happen:
Be more friendly to others. Keep the streets clean. Make sure everyone picks up their litter. Never be mean to children. Love the city. Try hard. Smile more. Invest in our children. Be helpful to people. Make children happy. Invest in the environment by building more parks, playgrounds and better buildings. Love everybody all of the time. Listen to children’s views. Care for our children. Be supportive. Encourage creativity in everything we do. Tell children they are great! Recycle and look after my grand-daughter.
