Workshop on Rethinking Markets

This family workshop invites participants to rethink the market as a space for community and urban life. Through dialogue and the construction of a model, both children and adults will envision a sustainable, open market connected to the neighborhood. Emphasizing the market's role beyond mere buying and selling, the workshop encourages reflection on its essential functions in the city. Families will analyze how markets serve as venues for gathering, exchange, and community bonding. Concepts like responsible consumption, local products, and sustainability will be explored, inspiring ideas for new cultural and communal uses of the market. Working in small groups, families will build their own models of an ideal market. At the end of the workshop, these models will be shared and compared, highlighting similarities and differences and delving into the market's role in urban life.
