La Voz de Galicia 22/08/2018 “What better way to learn and appreciate the heritage and architecture of the town rather than playing. The program “A vila do mañá“ is applying it. Yesterday it was in Fefiñáns and today, in A Pastora.”
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.

Children claim their right to be able to play in the Villagarcian streets
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.“
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.”
