DESCRIPTION
The workshop proposes the experimentation of an innovative co-creation tool to co-design and co-execute collaborative murals in a local context. It will focus on the green transition and the role that women play in it. It is developed around a tool that creates a space of co-creation and collaborative work in the street and contributing to generate community, empower local actors, and leave an important message of change in the urban space that is accessible to everyone. The visibility of women and any group excluded from the system has a high pedagogical value on the road to real equality.
Agenda
1. Presentation (15 min)
Presentation of the objective and the proposed dynamics, followed by a description of the context defined for, the social profiles and material to be used during the workshop.
2. Story Telling (30 min)
Groups are made (5 to 8 people). Every participant is assigned to a specific social profile with which he/she must self-identify during the workshop. Each group will have a set of cards (with ideas and blanks) to construct their part of the story. Work is done in a board that simulates the wall to be painted.
3. Synthesis/Joint Story (15 min)
Facilitators synthesis participants inputs from which it will be discussed with the participants any discrepancies, aspects to be emphasised, etc. in order to create a single proposal.
4. Co-design of the sketch (30 min)

The other participants are assigned different critical, positive, and negative points of view. While the artists draw, the viewpoints contribute different points of view, until a consensual sketch is made.
