Detailed description (English): Our project is to create a social centre for elderly, children and unemployed people to carry out all kinds of activities that will focus on improving their vital motivation and take advantage of their experience in a creative way with workshops related mobility, energy, ecological issues, etc.
In our neighborhood of street Maresme in Barcelona we had a long history fighting for our rights to quality public services.
The migrants who came from all over Spain in the 60’s have gotten the library, the adult school (of which they have now been expelled), a cultural centre with activities for young people, a social dining room that feeds 300 people daily homeless and children from families without resources.
Now this generation of people has an age of more than 65 years, we have about 3,000 people between 65 and 100 years registered in the neighborhood.
Elderly need one creative space for them.
All these people have good health but need activities that motivate them to live a plenty life.
We have already explained that they have suffered a lot and have much experience in the social struggle, so they are very active social activists.
Our project is to create a social centre for these people to carry out all kinds of activities that will focus on improving their vital motivation and take advantage of their experience in a creative way.
There is an area in the neighbourhood that currently has nothing built and is a public danger since there are homeless people and drug users.
ECOLOGICAL MOBILITY AND EFFECTIVE POINT FOR A CREATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE LIFE
FREE DAY CENTRE FOR ELDERLY is needed that is not managed by association of neighbours that embezzle public subsidies. They are the biggest part of the neighbourhood without warning to the neighbours and without that they can participate.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUB is needed for children from 0 to 16 years old. There are more than 1,500 children on the street each afternoon, hopefully before Christmas they will have a place to spend the afternoon, do workshops, homework, etc. We made one in 2015 for six months and was very successful among young people, both because he was very creative activities, and because we got all the attendees to approve all the end of course grades.
WOMEN POINT it takes a real point of attention to women battered by abuse against women. We need a centre where they can take shelter and stay to sleep if necessary, there are many women in the neighbourhood oppressed and there is no point of specialised attention in the neighbourhood Besòs Mar.
