In order to deliver the green transition we need to empower people to take action to care for their natural environment. One of the ways in which people can most actively contribute is through supporting pollinator habitats to create flourishing biodiversity ecosystems. Digital tools such as citizen science has the potential to deepen connections between people and nature and to increase local participation in caring for and managing local greenspaces.The project aims to develop design-led solutions to address specific challenges facing biodiversity through developing a rewilding tool to be used by younger people to support pollinator habitats. It will address the challenge of how to enable young people to take action to address biodiversity challenges and empower them to take action and see tangible changes in their local environment; their secondary school grounds. The project will collaborate with the award winning non-academic organization Pollenize CIC who have been developing new ways to track and improve biodiversity that enables insects to recover. As a result, the social enterprise has gained huge momentum, leading them to become a key player in driving environmental research and social change within the city and beyond. We will build on the existing track record of both organisations (Pollenize and University of Plymouth) of developing innovative design solutions using digital tools for young people to positively contribute to nature recovery within the places in which they study and live. The project will work in Cornwall in a place based approach in six schools located in communities that are characterised as deprived.Our project also has an embedded approach to build capacity in the project partners through programmes of training, mentoring and collaborative knowledge exchange. The Research Associate will work in a 'Design Researcher in Residence' (DIR) approach, spending time co-hosted with both Pollenize and the schools identified for the project co-design and implementation.The impact we plan to achieve will be created through creating pathways to environmental citizenship by giving young people tools to proactively support and protect pollinating insects. In doing so it will actively contribute to increasing the abundance and diversity of pollinating insects in school grounds which will measure and evaluate over the course of the project. The wider impact of the project will be the alignment of the outcomes with the work of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust who have the collective target of enabling 1 in 4 people taking action for wildlife and nationally with the National Education Nature Park project led by Learning Through Landscapes which gives young people the opportunity to transform their learning sites for nature and become part of a network of sites that form the National Education Nature Park. The Make Space for Bees project will align with these strategies and create pathways for national impact in transforming young people's relationship with their school grounds and contributing to pollinator recovery to support biodiversity.

为了实现绿色过渡，我们需要赋予人们采取行动以照顾其自然环境。人们最积极贡献的方式之一是支持传粉媒介栖息地创建繁荣的生物多样性生态系统。公民科学等数字工具有可能加深人物与自然之间的联系，并增加当地参与照顾和管理本地绿色空间。该项目旨在开发以设计为主导的解决方案，以应对设计领导的解决方案，以解决生物多样性面临的特定挑战，通过开发一种重新野生工具，以供年轻人使用一种支持授粉者栖息地。它将解决如何使年轻人采取行动应对生物多样性挑战并赋予他们采取行动并看到当地环境中有形变化的挑战；他们的中学理由。该项目将与屡获殊荣的非学术组织粉化CIC合作，他们一直在开发新的方法来跟踪和改善生物多样性，使昆虫能够恢复。结果，社会企业取得了巨大的势头，使他们成为推动城市内部及其他地区的环境研究和社会变革的关键参与者。我们将建立在现有的组织（粉和普利茅斯大学）的现有记录的基础上，他们使用数字工具为年轻人开发创新的设计解决方案，以在他们学习和生活的地方积极地为自然恢复做出积极贡献。该项目将在康沃尔郡的一种基于地点的方法中的六所社区中被剥夺的六个学校工作。我们的项目还采用嵌入式方法来通过培训，指导和协作知识交流计划来在项目合作伙伴中建立能力。研究助理将在“居住设计研究人员”（DIR）方法中工作，花费时间与授粉和为项目共同设计和实施所确定的学校共同主持。我们计划实现的影响将通过为年轻人积极支持和保护授粉昆虫而创造环境公民的途径来创造环境公民的途径。通过这样做，它将积极地增加学校理由中授粉昆虫的丰度和多样性，这些昆虫将在整个项目过程中衡量和评估。该项目的更广泛影响将是结果与康沃尔野生动物信托基金会的工作保持一致，他们的集体目标是使四分之一的人能够以四分之一的人为野生动植物采取行动，并以国家教育自然公园项目为领导的国家教育自然公园项目，这是通过学习通过景观来领导的，这使年轻人有机会为自然而成为建立国家教育大自然公园的网络的一部分，使年轻人有机会改变自己的学习地点。蜜蜂项目的制造空间将与这些策略保持一致，并为改变年轻人与学校的关系的关系创造了全国影响的途径，并为授粉媒介的恢复做出贡献以支持生物多样性。
