Problem

Teenagers no longer belong fully to the world of children, yet are not yet part of the adult world either. Without a realm of their own in between, they find nowhere to test responsibility and independence.

Solution

Create a half-independent world of their own for teenagers, standing between childhood and adulthood, with places where they can try themselves out, take on responsibility, and grow toward who they will become.
