Children claim their right to be able to play in the Villagarcian streets
“A Vila do Mañá” on TVG
TVG 07/08/2018 “One hundred children between 3 and 12 years old participate during this week in Vilagarcía in the workshops of “A Vila do Mañá“. It is a project that aims to discover, playfully, the vision that children have of the cities in which they live and to introduce ideas to modify them.
The project is based on an idea of the city in which cars rejected people. The ribbons in the old fish market square of Vilagarcía symbolize urban obstacles.
Children explore the playful side, make it their own, and tomorrow they will invade a street to create their own leisure space.“
“A Vila do Mañá” program in Bueu
Xornal de Vigo e Comarcas 05/08/2018 “The workshop was led by the award-winning architect Sandra González Álvarez and her team (PØSTarquitectos). Throughout these five days, concepts such as the invasion of spaces through games, frames, mirrors, lines and ribbons, three-dimensional elements and balloons were worked on, with the idea of seen the town as a space for citizens and not as a threat, as is usually the case.”
Vilagarcía, children playground
La Voz de Galicia 04/08/2018 “Designed by the company Post Arquitectos, “A Vilagarcía do mañá“ will turn the city into a playground where children can act from a new point of view, by walking and observing, the movement and the activation of their senses as basic tools. Let’s take some examples. The little participants will transmit their feelings about the city through drawings and, in their own way, they will be the ones who mark the first tours of its streets and squares. They will transform some of these spaces, A Peixería, without going any further, with different elements that they will be able to manipulate and value, even balloons that will finally make them explode as in a particular “mascletá“. With them, they will invade places that are normally forbidden to them.”
“A Vila do Mañá” in Vilagarcía
Faro de Vigo 04/08/2018 “Vilagarcía City Council is immersed in a new initiative for local children. This time it is a totally different project, an architecture, urban planning and landscape workshop for children and youth with which they want to raise awareness among the little ones about the importance of feeling and enjoying cities. This is stated by the promoters of this project, which is titled “A Vila do Mañá”, and which will take place next week through the streets of the city.”
Vilagarcía’s streets turn back to the little ones
Diario de Arousa 04/08/2018 “Promoting its idea of “city model“ and prioritizing pedestrians over vehicles, the local government launches “A vila do mañá“ initiative. The proposal, aimed to children between 3 and 9 years old, seeks to return the smallest of the house to the streets, where in the past they were enjoyed with games and friends. “Currently children live in boxes, houses, and move to other boxes such as schools and playgrounds and do not really enjoy the city“, explained the mayor of Urban Planning, Paola María. That is why this department and the Youth one, led by Sonia Outón, will launch a series of workshops to be held between August 6 and 10.”
About thirty children participated “A Vila do Mañá” workshops
Xornal Galiciasur 03/08/2018 “The activity was held this week and helped children to reflect on the town planning from a more participatory perspective. About thirty kids between 5 and 12 years old participated throughout this week in the urban planning workshop ‘A Vila do Mañá’ which finished this Friday, and which thought on another way of understanding the villages and places we live. The council of urbanism, led by Martín Villanueva, is grateful for the collaboration of parents who decided to target the children in this activity “whose goal was to promote the relationship with heritage and urbanism from an early age”.“
