This week, the Archidona City Council is launching A Vila do Mañá, a participatory project aimed at children and teenagers with the goal of involving them in shaping the city and gaining insight into their vision for the municipality.
From 27 to 31 July, ‘A Vila do Mañá’ invited more than 60 children and young people to suggest ways of improving their villages in the face of depopulation, through activities that fostered a sense of identity and belonging
The project, launched with the support of the Ministry of Culture, La Noria and Málaga Provincial Council, has been running a week-long programme of participatory activities in various public spaces across the municipality
A social innovation program developed in collaboration with La Noria and the Provincial Council of Málaga will enable children and teenagers to analyze and redefine the city model through play.
They are building a giant board with squares dedicated to the Santiago Bridge, the Convent of El Carme, the Paseo do Espolón, O Pedrón and Rosalía’s House.
The project The Town of Tomorrow returned to Rianxo this Wednesday so that students from CEIP Castelao could portray their local surroundings. Architect Sandra González, who spearheaded the initiative, asked them to draw the elements that shape the town’s identity. “Seventy percent of the drawings were of the Picariños candy shop,” she says with a laugh.
The Municipality of Padrón is launching the A Vila do Mañá summer camp this summer, a free initiative for children that combines family support, creativity, and learning through play.
