Synopsis

This initiative is part of Gabrielle Astier's sandwich doctoral internship at Villatte Wheatley Okretic 1, and continues the work of the Environment and Society (MASO) research group at the University of Antioquia, which has been doing this since 2014 with young people from the northeast region. bringing new tools to inspire people and carry out interventions in public spaces (underused, degraded or without vitality), in commune 2 the game Oasis Game was used. This game is a community mobilization tool created by Instituto Elos 2, with an approach that proposes a change of perspective with oneself, with others and with the world, and the creation of emotional bonds that promote transformation and appropriation of shared spaces. One of the challenges of the game is: in a short time (2 weeks), raise awareness and mobilize people to recognize the beauty of the territory, connect emotionally with the local inhabitants and discover the latent collective dream that gives meaning to that space. Being careful not to create expectations that would be difficult to achieve and realizing the collective dream in two days emerged during the process.
