"TheaDiPolis" is an interdisciplinary project that brings together citizens, urban planners and artists to strengthen and rethink participatory urban planning in Arnsberg. Through interactive formats, including in theatres and public spaces, citizen participation projects collect the needs and visions of residents and make them accessible via a participation app and public interactive screens. This data is visualised in engaging and playful 3D models to encourage increased citizen participation in urban development.

The project is embedded in a research project of the Nexus Institute and the University of Lübeck (Germany). All tools and code libraries created are the subject of educational and interactive tools and products. In this way, the project contributes to the production pipeline of educational tools developed by Wegesrand.

Wegesrand's CEO, Thorsten Unger, comments:

"With "TheaDiPolis" we have reached another milestone on our way to transform more and more businesses at Wegesrand into products and services. At the same time, we are participating in a project with very interesting partners when it comes to research in the field of future interaction and learning technologies.

Wicket Gaming's CEO, Eric de Basso, comments:

"We are very pleased to see that Wegesrand continues to build on its reputation as a top developer of interactive playful tools. The received grant will help fund further research and development allowing for an even stronger service and product offering going forward.
