RELATA

RELATA seeks to promote the participatory construction of the city based on the spaces that young people inhabit, whether physical, digital or emotional.

Through a gradual process, it allows them to express their vision of the city, share it in trusted environments and connect it with other realities.

New generations often feel a lack of belonging to the territories they inhabit. Recent cultural, technological and social changes have driven a preference for the private, a greater presence in social networks and less knowledge of communities. This complicates the creation of community bonds, the recognition of one’s own role in the construction of the environment and, consequently, the sense of citizenship.

Based on the methodology of Vides Creuades, RELATA works with neighbourhoods and close urban environments through circles of trust that go from the individual to the collective and the public. It uses audiovisual pieces, collective routes and mapping to record how young people inhabit and transform their territory.

The audiovisual kit proposes to reflect on the role of young people in public space. It includes materials for interviews where students explore their relationship with their neighbourhood. At the end of the process, the kit box becomes a collective exhibition that can be installed in the school or in the public space.
