The right of children and adolescents to PARTICIPATE in the CONSTRUCTION of their TOWN or CITY as part of an ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, in such a way that they are participants and executors of the changes in their surroundings.
For this protagonist to exist, CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS must reflect on their surroundings (the space in which they develop their lives), their context and propose solutions for change become aware of what it means to be a legal entitlement and the importance that their participation can have as a driving force for change in the rest of society.
“Plaza de Galicia is the first place we usually go. It’s a cozy place, but there are a lot of people. There is a beautiful fountain in front of Zara where a lot of people fall in, I would have put a glass wall behind the benches […] Then to eat we go in the car to Mercadona ”.
“I leave home and meet my two friends. As we like Miguel Hernández park we go there. Then we arrived there but there were no children. We like it because there are many slides, swings, cobwebs… but also because there are two parks and it is close to Compostela beach […] Then we go to Plaza Galicia, there are many shops and there is a chestnut tree, there are usually many people, but today it is empty because there are black clouds and it seems that it is going to rain ”.
“Independence Square seems like a cozy place to go for a snack. Then I go to play football passing by Cavadelo Park. Then I go to music lessons passing by Con’s river, which is a little dirty but it is pleasant […] Then I go home passing by the Fexdega pavilion, a good place to play sport. This is our day in Vilagarcia de Arousa ”.
