Historia de Galicia   29/07/2020                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        At one time we were afraid of the mountain. It was the mountain of wolf, of the ogre, of darkness. It was the place where we could get lost. When elders told us tales, the mountain was the preferred place to hide from enemies, traps, anguish. […] At one time we felt safe between the houses, in the city, the neighborhood. This was the place where we were looking for teammates, where we found them to play together. […]

But in a few decades, everything changed. There has been a tremendous, fast, total transformation, as our society has never seen before (at least as recorded in documented history). […] The mountain became beautiful, luminous, the object of dreams and desires. The city, on the other hand, has become something dirty, gray, monstrous”. This is Francesco Tonucci’s story appearing on the website of “A Vila do Mañá” project

A Vila do Mañá is an educational project whose goal is to promote, through game, children and teenagers’ awareness of all common scales: architecture, heritage, urbanism and landscape. It is necessary that children and adolescents actively witness the processes of common space’s construction (square, neighbourhood, city…), providing them with the necessary tools to aware the value of their environment and develop their creativity from art and architecture.”

The initiative reviews the design of cities and towns through children’s eyes and advocates the recovery of spaces for pedestrians and the reconfiguration of cities tailored to people. The project has so far reached more than 2,000 children in Galicia -in 2019 it made the leap to Brazil- and is being developed with the support of A Coruña Council, which yesterday presented the second phase by the provincial head of culture, Xurxo Couto, and the program director. Couto praised the intention of the project to promote that urban space stops being hostile to humanize itself. From the region of A Coruña, children from Arteixo have participated and a workshop was planned in Cambre every afternoon this summer, but it has been cancelled by Covid-19, as well as many other planned activities. The pandemic, González pointed out, has made it possible to see more clearly the importance of living in cities with enough spaces to walk and stroll.
