The workshop of the multidisciplinary group El Warcha
in Vale de Chelas will be developed with children from the neighbourhood, in
partnership with the Associação Geração Com Futuro, aiming to build a new
community space. For this purpose, contact was established in order to listen
to the participants and residents and start imagining a space filled with
music, fun and play — an entertaining, comfortable and stimulating space for
the creativity of kids and adults.
