In Trasdeza, the A vila do mañá program started, although inclement weather affected the activities of some groups.

“”A Vila do Mañá” will include workshops for six days
Silleda wants to bring the identity of towns and cities closer through game dynamics for children, in an informative and educational initiative that seeks to raise awareness about architecture, heritage, urbanism and the everyday landscape. The program, named A Vila do Mañá, will take place over a week and is aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 14. It will take place from June 28 to July 3.
This type of informative project, which is equally committed to entertainment and education, was developed in previous years in other Galician towns and also reached cities such as San Paulo in Brazil. The activities will take place through the streets of Silleda, in the morning and afternoon, coordinated by monitors. They will be free for those registered in the municipality, with 40 offers. Starting next week, interested parties will be able to register at the town hall. The program will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., except for the last day on Saturday, which will only be in the morning hours.
A Vila do Mañá is jointly organized by the Departments of Culture, Education and Urban Planning. As a background, it appears to bring the little ones closer to how the identity of the localities can be recovered and that they be a place of meeting and exchange. The educational project was designed by the POSTarqueitectos studio. It is sought that children and adolescents are actively present in the process of building common spaces, providing them with tools to develop their creativity through art and architecture.
The promoter of the initiative, Sandra González, highlighted yesterday during her presentation, accompanied by the councilor for Education, Ángela Troitiño, and Urban Planning, Pili Peón, that “the end is to provoke nefariousness and to awaken a new look at the spaces in which they develop to his life». During those six days, Silleda will become a large game board and experimentation laboratory, transforming the streets into something new to discover if you look at and walk with different eyes. It is made with characteristic elements of the municipality of Trasdeza, as a game of the goose.
The architect Sandra González also stressed that “it is important that from small we know the value of our territory to be aware and know food or tomorrow.” The workshops will be structured through the concepts of perception, space, landscape, scale, sustainability and village, together with tools such as the point, the line, the plane and the three-dimensional.
In short, it seeks to conceive the town as a play space, recovering ideas proposed by the Dutchman Aldo Van Eyck and prizes from Francesco Tonucci, creator of the A cidade dos nenos program, giving prominence to this age group to promote the recovery of the territory for citizens . The program has already been developed successfully in recent years in different parts of Galicia, from Vilagarcía to Carballo, Arzúa or Ames, as well as Arteixo, Rianxo, Malpica, Cambados or Santiago, among others.
