The Feniñans square is the setting this week for the activities of the “A Vila do Mañá” project. Led by a group of architects, it seeks to develop urban spaces for the enjoyment of pedestrians, exploring the ideas of design professionals with the concerns of a group of 250 children.
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.”
La Opinión A Coruña 19/08/2018 “Sandra González, who works as an architect in her A Coruña studio, takes the site between San Andrés and Mantelería streets to the Biennial, where she designed a “manufacturing laboratory“, a complex dedicated to the production of designs and inventions embodied in an open-plan building with exterior coloured stairs that will generate an “urban revival“. But not only that project bears her signature in the Spanish virtual and physical pavilion.“

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.”
Faro de Vigo 31/07/2018 “Since yesterday about thirty children have participated in “A vila do mañá“ workshops, a set of activities that aim to bring the world of urban planning closer to the youth. 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.“
El Correo Gallego 22/07/2018 ““A cidade do mañá” is a project that allows children to know and appreciate better 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 activity, which will take place from July 30 to August 3, is intended to promote knowledge and reflection on urban planning for girls aged 5 to 12
As part of the promotion of active policies for children and youth, the Bueu City Council is promoting the workshop “The village of tomorrow”, a project aimed at girls between 5 and 12 years old that will be held in various public spaces of the municipality from 30 July to August 3.”

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.”
