Various modes of restitution make it possible to cross the glances. Here, a small exhibition was designed by the participants from sheets they filled in on their teaching practices. Provided by the author[\/caption]<\/p>\n

Can you imagine meeting one day, walking through your neighborhood, dozens of boys and girls accompanied by university students in search of the sound beat of its streets and squares?\u00a0The actions of listening and sound intervention are a source of auditory and visual resources.\u00a0The resulting pieces can be displayed in an exhibition space.<\/p>\n

During the last four years, in the disadvantaged neighborhood of Nou Llevant-Soledad Sud in Palma de Mallorca, a result of the urban expansion of the city, primary school students and some neighbors have made the public space their own, playing with art as a didactic resource .<\/p>\n

The students learned a multitude of possibilities and techniques of artistic expression while affecting their environment and developing a critical view of it.<\/p>\n

Learn outside the classroom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our neighborhood offers us a valuable source of resources to create and consolidate spaces for learning, reflection and debate.\u00a0We can investigate, learn and develop our skills, enhance critical thinking.\u00a0In short, to be participatory citizens in the territory we inhabit.<\/p>\n

Getting out of the classroom and occupying the public space as a learning space facilitates the creation of alliances between the school and social context, while allowing us to create community links.<\/p>\n

In particular, experiences with art, through collaborative creative processes, can help build a social network that strengthens the educational and cultural fabric of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

This is the assumption from which our project\u00a0Re-Inhabit the Neighborhood: Processes of Transformation and Empowerment between University-School-Society through Artistic Practices starts<\/em><\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Alliances between university, school and community<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We design an artistic program based on the joint work between university, school and society with the purpose of creating links that promote social transformation and citizen empowerment.<\/p>\n

The programme, entitled\u00a0My neighbourhood, my school,<\/em><\/a>\u00a0consists of 29 artistic-pedagogical actions carried out by university students, primary school students, teachers, families, inhabitants and institutions of the neighbourhood, together with teachers, experts and guest artists.<\/p>\n

Context and meaningful learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is important to value the richness of our environment from all its aspects.\u00a0To this end, artistic practices make it easier for us to approach the context of the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

The educational material for each of the actions is provided by the neighborhood itself, which allows us to carry out learning in situ.\u00a0The approaches were varied and in this way we were able to start from the experiences of daily life.<\/p>\n

From different perspectives and from different approaches we explore the common space that we share and inhabit: from music, plastic and visual arts, poetry, theater, ceramics, new technologies, robotics, sociology, architecture…<\/p>\n
