The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.

In this case it works with perception, that of the body itself and the environment that surrounds them. Understanding how they perceive their town, we try to provoke in girls, boys, and teenagers a new vision of everyday spaces, seeking to break with the familiar and so that they can see the same places with different eyes.

Niñas y niños, en sus soledades mudas,

cruzan las calles de ciudades amargas.

Ritmos vertiginosos modulan su caminar.

No hay paradas para el descanso, no hay tiempo.

No hay tiempo para recuperarse, y mirar y sentir,

para observar, para aprender. Para querer.

Inhóspitos espacios urbanos, de guerras sin sentido,

valores olvidados y ambiciones desmedidas,

equivocan a sus gentes.

Y entre memorias rotas, contenedores mal olientes,

semáforos, coches, vomitonas y orines,

también lágrimas de niños mojan las calles.
