The aim the cnerence ist cntemplate the city in relatin t the culture childhd, and as a scial, materialand cultural space.

Experts rm diverse elds,including architecture, urbandesign, pedaggy, the arts andscial sciences, have been invited t take a resh lk at thespaces childhd.

The cnerence is an pprtunity t at ideas abut theways in which t understandur pressin with regard tchildhd, as well as seekingnew ways putting thseideas int actin, and stering efective cperatin between experts, pressinals,institutins and educatinalcmmunities, as well as between pressinals and children themselves.

Fr children, the city repre

sents a set rmal and inrmal spaces that shape andmake pssible their relatinship with the wrld. They are theplaces where they encunterthe ther, where they accruediscveries, where they learn,play and experience culture.

The imprtance the relatinship between childhdand spaces is rted in the

multiple ways in which childhd can be cnstructed in arange times and spaces. Itis by accessing and negtiating diferent types spacesthat childhd makes, and remakes, its identity.

Access t public spaces inthe city, the street, the neighburhd, and play areas,

enables children t experience the nature mmentary,but nevertheless signicant,relatins, as well as a sense cmmunity and cllectivity. Public space is a terrainr trial and errr in the prcess scializatin. Frm access t learning and t cultural spaces, childhd activelyparticipates in the scial lie ur cities.

The city is als an expressin new paradigms andvalues: participative culture,

the wrth creativity and artistic activity in the learningprcess, as well as the imprtance quality ree time. Acity that sees itsel as evermre prus, where the separatin between times r learning, leisure and culture areever mre blurred, and whichare understd as interdependent spaces in cnstant dial

Starting with a presentatin specic scenaris in the city, weaim t prduce a range visins, schemes and instantaneusideas that wuld ease, r make pssible, the presence childhd in public spaces. our aim is t strengthen the ties between schl spaces and thse the wider city, as well as between arts centres, the street, and the schl.

We will display several prjects, prttypes schemes already

carried ut in ther cities, t spark ideas as t hw spaces can becnnected thrugh design and creating a simple, but subtle slutins. The idea is t reinterpret and reactivate these cre ideas,always with childhd as the main cus.

Wrkshp 2 Urban drit: play as a tl in apprpriating spaces.Mderatr: Clara Nubila and Pau Faus

The grwing number saety measures linked t everything related t childhd, as well as the burgening regularizatin the use public spaces, are cnsiderably limiting the creatin play spaces in cities like Barcelna. Even s, these play restrictins are ten ignred and many public spaces intended rther (r n) uses are quickly transrmed int tball pitches.

Dance areas r skate parks are ther examples. In this wrkshp we reect n this type apprpriatin (r reinterpretatin) public space. We shw a range studies carried ut nthis tpic, as well as visiting areas in and arund the city s ast imagine, cllectively and reely, the play ptential that theyculd fer.
