“About thirty children participated this week in a workshop in which they worked, together with specialized monitors, on Carballo‘s identity concept. Led by the architect Sandra González, they expressed what defines the town for them, and how the feeling of unity could be improved or implemented.”
El Correo Gallego 22/07/2018 ““A cidade do mañá” is a project that allows children to know and appreciate better the place where they live. Not only will it take place in Carballo, but in the coming months it will also be held in Rianxo, Bueu, Vilagarcía and Ferrol. In addition, last year it was launched in Rianxo, Ames, A Pobra, Mondoñedo, Ribeira and Verín. The organizer, Sandra González, explained that with this project they understand the city as a game board, as a meeting place and as a learning laboratory for children “that through children’s own tools, such as their own movement and play, they have to discover, live, know and value their habitat in order to act in it“.”
La Voz de Galicia 17/07/2018 “The workshop “A vila do mañana / A cidade do mañana”, created and directed by the architect Sandra González Álvarez (O Carballiño), an honorary member of the Association for the defense of the Galician cultural heritage (Apatrigal), started in Carballo. Under the initiative of the area of Planning and Urban Mobility of Carballo, this entity collaborates with the initiative, together with the Official College of Architects of Galicia, the Higher Technical School of Architecture and Post Architects. Teais provides materials. All this week the workshops will continue in the morning, with the participation of more than 30 children between 5 and 12 years old.“
Faro de Vigo 14/07/2018 “Encourage the relationship with heritage and urban planning from childhood. This is the objective that the City Council of Bueu has set itself with a series of workshops entitled “A vila do mañá“, an initiative with which it aims to bring children and youth closer to a subject that, at first, could be distant from them. The project is promoted by the Association for the Defense of the Galician Cultural Heritage and is based on the ideas of the Italian psychopedagogue Francesco Tonucci. The thinker and artist relates childhood to urban planning and the heritage of localities to reinforce the feeling of belonging to a place, as well as to create an identity.”

The didactic project The town of tomorrow has returned to Rianxo. The objective, on this occasion, was for the little ones to collaborate in the design of what will be the new urban park of the village, located in the surroundings of the old houses of the teachers. “We wanted to know how the boys would build this space, since they are precisely the ones who will live in it”, explained the creator of the initiative, Sandra González.
Paper and pencil in hand, more than a hundred children not only drew the park of their dreams, but built a real playground with simple elements, such as colored strings, balloons or elastic bands.”
