Art as a basis on which to build a dialogue between youth, the bringing together of communities and the exchange of knowledge.
From environmental to cultural regeneration. In the identified area it is perceived that the lack of urban decorum and identity disaffects the relationship with one's own living context and that this feeling frequently degenerates into a deterioration or abandonment of the elements that compose it. The sense of a new consideration of territoriality wants to be regained through the implementation of workshops of social regeneration and material works of artistic redevelopment.
The project that is intended to be realized will be divided into two phases: the self-construction, where professionals will activate workshops involving the youth in the creation of street furniture. The second involves the use of those same spaces for the activation of a varied series of cultural and educational activities. It is planned the creation of a real street library in the form of wooden boxes, from which it is possible to take a free book and leave another one in exchange, so as to allow a mutual enrichment.
The challenge is to be able to involve citizens in active policies, through taking care of a space in a state of neglect, activating workshops of self-construction of street furniture and then living those spaces using them as a place of meeting, non-formal learning, exchange of knowledge. Involving young people directly, so as to make them responsible for the care of common spaces; those same spaces to which they will give life through the encounter-confrontation with others.
