The streets of the Ourense town of Barbadás are filled these days with children clad in huge floats. But they are not going to the pool, but rather they intend to show how unprepared our cities are to maintain social distance.

TO RÚA DO ENSINO, NA VALENZÁ, WILL CONVERTER FOR A WEEK NA VILA DO MAÑÁ
Sandra González, creative architect and coordinator of this didactic and recreational activity, explains that “A Vila do Mañá” is in the field of architecture. “We are architects and we believe that cities were built with the value of money as a background”.
González asks himself “and have we changed that concept of the city? For a week we were going to be in Barbadás to see the city with the two smaller ones, let them tell us how they are in their village, in their city, see how they act, what elements are important to them”.
The coordinator of the Vila do Mañá states that “we have a complicated challenge, or I wish to carry out a participation project like this one, boys and girls have to live, to enjoy, to transform it”.
From the 26th to the 30th of June “there will be a safe area, it will be transformed into a street, whose metade will be validated and the children will experience the area through sex and entertainment,” explains Sandra González.
Or that it is intended as a project to recover the city for future citizens.

The wonderful adventure of discovering what surrounds you.
How can we recover the identity of our peoples? How could they become a meeting and exchange place again? Some of these issues led the PØSTarquitectos studio to create the A vila do mañá project, an educational and informative initiative so that, through play, children become aware of all scales of the common: architecture, tangible heritage and intangible, urbanism and landscape.
In Trasdeza the program A vila do mañá started
La Voz de Galicia 29/06
In Trasdeza, the A vila do mañá program started, although inclement weather affected the activities of some groups. They will work on the development of a plant wall and an orchard in Juan Salgueiro square, along with other outdoor initiatives in different streets of Silleda, to bring the territory closer to the little ones.

“El proyecto educativo tendrá lugar del 28 de este mes al 3 de julio.
Los talleres de “Silleda, a vila do mañá” cuentan ya con 55 niños y niñas inscritos, pero disponen todavía de 18 plazas libres en el turno de tarde, de 17.00 a 20.00 horas. Las personas interesadas en participar tienen que cubrir el formulario de inscripción en el registro municipal, o descargarlo en la web y remitirlo a través de la sede electrónica.
Esta apuesta lúdico-educativa tendrá lugar durante la semana del 28 de junio al 3 de julio. En los últimos años se celebró en distintas localidades gallegas, así como en Sao Paulo, en Brasil. Los talleres están destinados a niños y niñas de 5 a 14 años del municipio, y ofrecen distintas actividades coordinadas por una persona monitora. Las actividades serán gratuitas, tendrán lugar en espacios públicos de Silleda. Los progenitores dejarán y recogerán a los participantes en el pabellón César G. Fares.
Las actividades quieren concienciar a los más jóvenes del municipio sobre la arquitectura, el patrimonio, el urbanismo y el paisaje. Por eso se van a trabajar conceptos como la percepción, la escala, la sostenibilidad o el plano. Así, con “Silleda, A Vila do Mañá” se tomará la localidad como un tablero de juego y laboratorio de experimentación, transformando la localidad en algo nuevo a descubrir, si se mira con otros ojos. El reto principal de esta iniciativa es que la infancia y la adolescencia estén presentes en la construcción de los espacios comunes, dotándolos de las herramientas necesarias para desarrollar su creatividad a través del arte pero también de la arquitectura.”
