Faro de Vigo 20/11/2018 “Students from San Francisco School took the Praza da Independencia yesterday morning within “A vila do mañá“ program, an initiative of the councils of Urbanism and Education of the Vilagarcía City Council to claim the streets as places of meeting, coexistence and recreation. Thus, children go back to playing in the street, as was usual until not so many years ago.”
Diario de Arousa 20/11/2018 “The bustle of screams and children’s laughter was yesterday’s soundtrack of all those who passed through the Praza da Independencia. Dozens of children from San Francisco School took this central square to kick off a new edition of “A Vila do mañá” initiative. Games of all kinds were the main attraction of the morning and will continue to be throughout this week. And the idea is not far from the image that the local government wants for this environment in just a few months. In fact, the works that will pedestrianize two of the three sides of this square will begin imminently. Meanwhile, that enjoyment of the street by pedestrians is experienced by the children.“
Canal Rías Baixas 19/11/2018 “The chosen location was not a coincidence. A Praza da Independencia will soon undergo a major refurbishment, in which people will gain ground on cars. More than 300 children will pass through this space between today and Friday, or what is the same, 300 inhabitants of tomorrow’s Vilagarcía.”
“Torrente Ballester Cultural Center welcomes from this Monday until next Friday the workshops of “A vila do mañá“, an initiative that arose in 2016 from a group of female architects and was recognized at the International Biennial of Education in Architecture.”
Faro de Vigo 22/08/2018 “The aim of the project is to redefine society’s relationship with urban public spaces, which are often closed and even dangerous for pedestrians. The initiative has international awards, and in Galicia it is sponsored by the Association for the Defense of Cultural Heritage of Galicia, whose vice president Javier Montero, Cambados‘ native. “These activities interest us a lot because one of our open fronts is education about the territory, architecture, landscape and heritage“.”
La Voz de Galicia 21/08/2018 “Ferrol City Council opens today the registration period for a workshop to children from 3 to 12 years old that aims to involve minors in the construction of the common space in which they move. The initiative will run from September 3 to 7 and includes proposals related to architecture, urban planning and landscape.”
La Voz de Galicia 18/08/2018 “The “A vila do mañá” program teaches more than a hundred children to have fun and learn in public spaces.“
TVG 07/08/2018 “One hundred children between 3 and 12 years old participate during this week in Vilagarcía in the workshops of “A Vila do Mañá“. It is a project that aims to discover, playfully, the vision that children have of the cities in which they live and to introduce ideas to modify them.
The project is based on an idea of the city in which cars rejected people. The ribbons in the old fish market square of Vilagarcía symbolize urban obstacles.
Children explore the playful side, make it their own, and tomorrow they will invade a street to create their own leisure space.“
Faro de Vigo 04/08/2018 “Vilagarcía City Council is immersed in a new initiative for local children. This time it is a totally different project, an architecture, urban planning and landscape workshop for children and youth with which they want to raise awareness among the little ones about the importance of feeling and enjoying cities. This is stated by the promoters of this project, which is titled “A Vila do Mañá”, and which will take place next week through the streets of the city.”
Diario de Arousa 04/08/2018 “Promoting its idea of “city model“ and prioritizing pedestrians over vehicles, the local government launches “A vila do mañá“ initiative. The proposal, aimed to children between 3 and 9 years old, seeks to return the smallest of the house to the streets, where in the past they were enjoyed with games and friends. “Currently children live in boxes, houses, and move to other boxes such as schools and playgrounds and do not really enjoy the city“, explained the mayor of Urban Planning, Paola María. That is why this department and the Youth one, led by Sonia Outón, will launch a series of workshops to be held between August 6 and 10.”
