Facilitate and enhance child rearing beyond the domestic sphere and personal networks by developing a new typology of outdoor facilities designed to engage children and their caregivers in quality experiences in public spaces.

​

Pop-up intervention transforming an urban void in Parenting friendly public space.

 

This project is supported by three pillars:

 

01_The Temporary-Use approach for Urban Voids as public space

​

02_The DIY Parenting friendly Pop-Up Urban Furniture production [aUPA Kits]

​

03_The Parenting supporting networks generation

Urban Void + aUPA Kit + Parenting Supporting Networks

=

aUPA Space

 

During 10 days more than 200 people enjoyed the space between children, caregivers, Partners’ organizations, Early Childhood Development Specialists, Students, and the general public.

 

Regarding the Parenting Supporting Networks, an Activities Program was carried out:

​

• Early Childhood Readers Workshop

• Babywearing Workshop

• Urban Gardens Workshop

• Yoga for children and pregnant women Workshop

• Breastfeeding, the beginning of a healthy and conscious diet Workshop

• Eco Parenting Trade Fair

• Conversation Meeting on Montessori Philosophy

 

Thanks to this experience, we have been able to introduce early childhood, care, and a gender perspective and its relationship with the city, with a wide and varied group of people.
