The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.

In this case we work with sustainability, reflecting on the way in which we relate to the planet and making girls, boys, and teenagers aware that what is sustainable consists of a balance between what allows us to develop our lives and what does not compromise the survival of future generations. And so, realizing that we only have one planet with limited resources that must be taken care of.

Niñas y niños, en sus soledades mudas,

cruzan las calles de ciudades amargas.

Ritmos vertiginosos modulan su caminar.

No hay paradas para el descanso, no hay tiempo.

No hay tiempo para recuperarse, y mirar y sentir,

para observar, para aprender. Para querer.

Inhóspitos espacios urbanos, de guerras sin sentido,

valores olvidados y ambiciones desmedidas,

equivocan a sus gentes.

Y entre memorias rotas, contenedores mal olientes,

semáforos, coches, vomitonas y orines,

también lágrimas de niños mojan las calles.
