“Every city has its own history, its own landmarks. I’m not only referring to those buildings officially recognised as important parts of the nation’s historical heritage. I mean, above all, the places that belong to the city’s memory — places that are fundamental to its identity, to the sense of belonging to a city. Whether it’s a factory, an old tram stop, or one of those grocery shops where everything was ingenuously displayed.”

The right of children and adolescents to PARTICIPATE in the CONSTRUCTION of their VILLAGE or CITY as part of an ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, in such a way that they become both participants in and agents of change in their surroundings.
For this sense of protagonist to exist, CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS must reflect on their surroundings (the space in which they live their lives), their context and propose solutions for change become aware of what it means to be a legal entitlement and the importance that their participation can have as a driving force for change in the rest of society.

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.

Changing the village through protagonist participation
working with scale
“I confront the city with my body; my legs measure the length of the arcades and the width of the square; my gaze unconsciously projects my body onto the cathedral facade, where it wanders along the mouldings and contours, feeling the size of the ins and outs; the weight of my body meets the mass of the cathedral door and my hand grips the door handle as I enter the dark empty space behind it. I feel myself in the city and the city exists through my embodied experience. The city and my body complement and define each other: I inhabit the city and the city inhabits me.”
