We understand the village as a game board, as a meeting place and as a learning laboratory for children and teenagers, through the tools of childhood such as their own movement and play. They have to discover, live, know and value their habitat in order to be able to act in it as an active citizen, thus encouraging protagonist participation from childhood.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLACE

We want children and teenagers to learn to look at the place where they live, taking with them two powerful tools: ART and ARCHITECTURE. They are two elements that help us to understand the world and, most importantly, also to transform it.

Working with three-dimensional elements

“The opportunity for the child to discover his or her own movement is part of the city itself; the city is also a play space. The child uses all the elements of the city, all the built objects, all the surfaces he or she can climb or climb on. Children know how to play with these things very well, even if they are not allowed to.”
Aldo van Eyck

‘A Vila do Maña’ works with three-dimensional elements, based on Froebel’s “third gift”.
In architecture we have Froebel as a reference, through Frank Lloyd Wrigth who was educated with this method. It is a system based on the creativity and intuition of the child through direct experience, play and nature. It creates a pedagogical resource based on ‘gifts’ and ‘occupations’. The ‘gifts’ are pedagogical materials that do not change, but are transformed; the ‘occupations’ are activities in which children play by transforming the objects they manipulate. The ‘gifts’ are precursors of today’s building blocks.

The village or city in which we are working has been turned into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.

On this occasion, it is the words that invade urban spaces, the ones that transform the environment of girls, boys and teenagers. In Touro, based on the toponymy that makes up its most important population core, it is about transforming the environment with the stories of our writers: Martín Códax, Rosalía de Castro, Castelao, Eduardo Pondal, Curros Enríquez, Ramón Cabanillas and Eduardo Blando Amor, encouraging participation protagonist, being the girls. children and adolescents the protagonists of the transformation.

What is your village like? Which elements would you highlight?

“A good urban acupuncture would be one that enables everyone to know their city. How many people, in reality, truly know their own city? It’s hard to respect what you don’t know. But how can you respect your city if you don’t understand it? Draw your city. […] But how can you improve your city if you don’t even know it well? What do you do for it, if you’re not even able to draw it? That’s the crux of the matter.”

Jaime Lerner

Work begins with PERCEPTION. How do the future inhabitants of the place perceive their village or city? To explore this, participants are invited to use simple drawings to show us which elements they consider fundamental or particularly interesting in their village or city. In this way, we can understand their individual views of the place they live in and begin to build a collective vision shared by all participants.

But how can you respect your city if you don’t understand it? Draw your city. […] But how can you improve your city if you don’t even know it well? What do you do for it, if you’re not even able to draw it? That’s the crux of the matter.”

Jaime Lerner

To understand how the inhabitants, both current and future, perceive their village, we will use the following strategy: we set off ‘adrift’ with a large golden frame, so that during our wandering, we frame those urban elements that are important to them (an experience based on the work of O’Grady). Who have been the protagonists of this ‘A Vila do Mañá’ experience? On this occasion, during their wandering, they have reDISCOVERED places in their village, perhaps forgotten ones.
With ‘A Vila do Mañá’, the village in which they live is not an abstract idea, nor a series of small partial images; it begins to be understood as a much more complex and expansive environment, bringing us closer to the notion of habitat: the space that transcends its physical location in a territory where we fulfil our needs, establishing relationships with others and with the environment, both natural and built; involving processes in which it transforms, but in which we are also transformed.
