Changing the village through protagonist participation
PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION
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.
“Those who have designed, administered and governed them have done so without completing those other dimensions (making one-dimensional cities based on production) and that the definitions of the RAE ignore, and the principle of action has prevailed over their understanding of reality. These cities conceive public space as the space that allows us to get to work from home, without asking if for some the street is synonymous with relationship and encounter and for others it entails exposure and risk”

Color YOUR village
The village or city in which we are working has been turned into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where girls, boys and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
