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.

“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.”
“A Xunta will study to collaborate in a new educational project for children and adolescents on landscape, urban planning and architecture”

“The Ministry of Environment, Territory and Housing will study the possibility of collaborating in a new educational project driven from the field of architecture and aimed at Galician children and adolescents.
This is what councilor Ángeles Vázquez and architect Sandra González Álvarez, promoter of the educational and informative initiative A vila do moraan, which has been carried out so far in around 15 Galician municipalities and whose objective is that, from childhood and through play, awareness is created on all scales of common space: architecture, heritage, urbanism and landscape.
In the same way, as he explained to the councillor, it is also sought to bring the architectural discipline to the world of two children so that there is an exchange of knowledge and the professionals can approach the vision of the towns and cities that the new generations have.
To this end, A vila do moraan proposes to carry out a whole series of workshops given by students from the Escola Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, adapted in each case to the age of the two participants and us that the street becomes an authentic operational space, making available to children and teenagers all the necessary tools to develop their creativity from art and architecture.
In this sense, Ángeles Vázquez celebrated that initiatives like this put the focus on urbanism, the landscape and the relationship we have with our environment from a very early age, seeking active involvement by the new generations in the construction processes of neighborhoods, cities and squares and the improvement of abandoned or deteriorated environments due to the impact of so-called urban feism.
For his part, González stressed the importance of contact between different generations to guarantee a two-way learning, because the participating children “discover what is behind two walls” of buildings around them, such as, for example, Casa do Concello.
It should be remembered that the Consellería has also collaborated since 2000 with the Official College of Architects called Project Terra, a program of pedagogical activities that takes place in educational centers throughout Galicia with the aim of educating and generating a critical spirit among Primary and Secondary students in relation to architecture and landscape.”
