Vilagarcía’s streets turn back to the little ones

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.”

The objective is that they participate actively in the construction processes of common spaces and that they can understand concepts such as space, city or the place where they live.

Not only will it take place in Carballo, but in the coming months it will also be held in Rianxo, Bueu, Vilagarcía and Ferrol. In addition, last year it was launched in Rianxo, Ames, A Pobra, Mondoñedo, Ribeira and Verín. The organizer, Sandra González, explained that with this project they understand the city as a game board, as a meeting place and as a learning laboratory for children that through children’s own tools, such as their own movement and play, they have to discover, live, know and value their habitat in order to act in it.”

The didactic project The town of tomorrow has returned to Rianxo. The objective, on this occasion, was for the little ones to collaborate in the design of what will be the new urban park of the village, located in the surroundings of the old houses of the teachers. “We wanted to know how the boys would build this space, since they are precisely the ones who will live in it”, explained the creator of the initiative, Sandra González.

Paper and pencil in hand, more than a hundred children not only drew the park of their dreams, but built a real playground with simple elements, such as colored strings, balloons or elastic bands.”
