This workshop aims to create the conditions to begin a process of participative research , reflection and proposition starting from different concepts related to "human scale development": being, to have, to make, to be / subsistence,protection, affection, common sense, participation, leisure, creation, identity, freedom. These concepts proposed by the economist Manfred Max-Neef are an alternative to the traditional models applied. The workshop focuses on leisure, a subject often trivialised and little appraised but which represents a fundamental element in the holistic development of people and of their systemic context: spatial, temporal and collective.
With the collaboration of Miquel Bardagil, curator and art critic, Betlem Parés, manager of the Institut del Desenvolupament del Barri de l'Erm de Manlleu, Fabiola Mora i Noemí Alonso, from Pla de Barris de l'Ajuntament de Vic
