Transforming the Village Through Protagonist Participation
Transforming the Village Through Protagonist Participation
“streets / Girls and boys, in their mute solitudes / they cross the streets of bitter cities / Vertiginous rhythms modulate his walk / There are no rest stops, there is no time / There is no time to recover, and look and feel / to observe, to learn / to want Inhospitable urban spaces, of senseless wars / forgotten values and excessive ambitions / they mislead their people / And between broken memories, foul-smelling containers / traffic lights, cars, vomit and urine / children’s tears also wet the streets”
Adriana Bisquert
It is a simple and powerful formula of URBAN TRANSFORMATION, followed by VILAS and CITIES in the whole world, which allows to change spaces through actions with ephemeral and economic elements.
In this way, it is possible to TRANSFORM mere SPACES of transit or parking into ZONES of LIFE and social interaction, creating meeting places for the community and above all designed by and for children and adolescents, where they are the protagonists.

The children of Barbadás color the Rúa do Ensino
The itinerant initiative “A vila do mañá”, which claims the right of children to be able to play and enjoy their childhood in public spaces, as well as a model of a city centered on the person, left Barbadás yesterday after an intense week of activities.
Colour your Village
The village or city in which we are working, transformed into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
