Xornal de Vigo e Comarcas 05/08/2018 “The workshop was led by the award-winning architect Sandra González Álvarez and her team (PØSTarquitectos). Throughout these five days, concepts such as the invasion of spaces through games, frames, mirrors, lines and ribbons, three-dimensional elements and balloons were worked on, with the idea of seen the town as a space for citizens and not as a threat, as is usually the case.”
La Voz de Galicia 04/08/2018 “Designed by the company Post Arquitectos, “A Vilagarcía do mañá“ will turn the city into a playground where children can act from a new point of view, by walking and observing, the movement and the activation of their senses as basic tools. Let’s take some examples. The little participants will transmit their feelings about the city through drawings and, in their own way, they will be the ones who mark the first tours of its streets and squares. They will transform some of these spaces, A Peixería, without going any further, with different elements that they will be able to manipulate and value, even balloons that will finally make them explode as in a particular “mascletá“. With them, they will invade places that are normally forbidden to them.”
Faro de Vigo 04/08/2018 “Vilagarcía City Council is immersed in a new initiative for local children. This time it is a totally different project, an architecture, urban planning and landscape workshop for children and youth with which they want to raise awareness among the little ones about the importance of feeling and enjoying cities. This is stated by the promoters of this project, which is titled “A Vila do Mañá”, and which will take place next week through the streets of the city.”
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.”
Xornal Galiciasur 03/08/2018 “The activity was held this week and helped children to reflect on the town planning from a more participatory perspective. About thirty kids between 5 and 12 years old participated throughout this week in the urban planning workshop ‘A Vila do Mañá’ which finished this Friday, and which thought on another way of understanding the villages and places we live. The council of urbanism, led by Martín Villanueva, is grateful for the collaboration of parents who decided to target the children in this activity “whose goal was to promote the relationship with heritage and urbanism from an early age”.“
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.“

“About thirty children participated this week in a workshop in which they worked, together with specialized monitors, on Carballo‘s identity concept. Led by the architect Sandra González, they expressed what defines the town for them, and how the feeling of unity could be improved or implemented.”
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“.”
La Voz de Galicia 17/07/2018 “The workshop “A vila do mañana / A cidade do mañana”, created and directed by the architect Sandra González Álvarez (O Carballiño), an honorary member of the Association for the defense of the Galician cultural heritage (Apatrigal), started in Carballo. Under the initiative of the area of Planning and Urban Mobility of Carballo, this entity collaborates with the initiative, together with the Official College of Architects of Galicia, the Higher Technical School of Architecture and Post Architects. Teais provides materials. All this week the workshops will continue in the morning, with the participation of more than 30 children between 5 and 12 years old.“
Faro de Vigo 14/07/2018 “Encourage the relationship with heritage and urban planning from childhood. This is the objective that the City Council of Bueu has set itself with a series of workshops entitled “A vila do mañá“, an initiative with which it aims to bring children and youth closer to a subject that, at first, could be distant from them. The project is promoted by the Association for the Defense of the Galician Cultural Heritage and is based on the ideas of the Italian psychopedagogue Francesco Tonucci. The thinker and artist relates childhood to urban planning and the heritage of localities to reinforce the feeling of belonging to a place, as well as to create an identity.”
