Presentation of our Hibrilaldiak process in Donostia 2016.

On the 17 of December 2015 we were presenting our experience in Hibrilaldiak process with Ermua Mugi! (EM!) at headquarters of Donostia2016, with other 5 projects:

Algaraklown + Economistas sin fronteras,
Bagera Donostiako Euskalzaleen Elkartea + Bigara,
Ermua Mugi! + FurAlleFalle,
Hasiera + Zaramari,
Ikasteam + Vivero de iniciativas ciudadanas,
Osakidetza OSI EEC + AATOMIC LAB


In our presentation we showed the following PDF:



You can read the full script of the presentation in http://titanpad.com/conclusiones-ermuamugi

Extract from the script:

Learning:

1 - Find and define what are the profiles who we will lead with our proposal. 
2 - Be clear we must make a prototype that can be replicated and scaled openly.
3 - Further pressure. Don´t try to change structural things, but to raise devices or actions that fit the existing dynamics.

Up to now, so far we have achieved:

1 - We have made a number of concrete proposals as a bank of ideas to boost EM!
in https://titanpad.com/ermuamugi
2 - We have made a Young Map of ErmuaMugi!
This mapping has connected this group of young people with dynamics of Ermua Mugi!, valuing habits related to EM! and becoming aware of the places and healthy activities they are already practicing.
3 - We have connected youth from Ermua with strategy of ErmuaMugi! and their three axes, encouraging them to propose activities and events.
We think they've understood that ErmuaMugi! are they in every daily walk.
4 - In addition, San Pelayo school in Ermua, with which we have worked, will be part of next Hibrilaldiak.

We leave you some photos of that day via Conexiones Improbables:

Mapping Ermua Mugi!

Starting with our experiencie as "different" in Hibrilaldiak 

Mapping Ermua Mugi!


Last 18th of November we were at Colegio San Pelayo with a group of 4º ESO. 
We were very well received by the principal and the teacher, who knew the dynamics that we were going to outline and consider in relation to Ermua Mugi! strategy, so they were delighted to participate.
In this school students are used to work in collaboratives groups of five or six people, often working with digital devices.
We invited them to participate in a mapping dynamic. Each group had a map of Ermua, a device (computer) to point the map legend, colorful stickers and markers.

We explained them that they could map places or actions outside the usual or established places for it. For example, a picnic in any place different to a picnic area, play football in the street, etc.



They had to map in the public space following kind of places in relation to the 3 axes of Ermua Mugi!:

Emotional health:
1- a place to sunbath.
2- a place to think or study.
3- a place to go when you're sad.
4- a place to sit and talk. When it rains and when it does not rain.

Healthy food:
5- a place for picnic. When it rains and when it does not rain.
6- a place with fountain.
7- a place to buy a healthy snack.
8- a place to "collect" (not on private property). Fish, pick mushrooms, wild plants, etc.

Physical exercise:
  9- a route/walk.
10- places to do something like a sport (jump, races, swim, run, score a basket, play penalties, etc.) involving physical exercise. An example, stepping backwards on escalators. Scooter descents on a downhill street, etc.
11- where do you play?

Some groups also sent us photos of the places marked on the map.
You can see the result on this map:
(please click on the icon in the upper left corner to see the legends, in the top right for full screen)




Conclusions obtained with the map:

Emotional Health
They appreciate and frequent nature and quiet places.
They usually frequent them for a walk, to talk, eat something, or when they are sad or thoughtful.
Basagatz, closer, and Errekalde, where there is a pool and a natural environment, and also Urko, stands out.

It's curious that someone marked the train station as a place to go if you are sad, because from there you can take a train to Deva and arrive to the beach.

"Abandoned Places" They frequent the park-like unfinished Betiondo Park, for its height, peaceful, and because it is a sunny place.
Another abandoned place they use is the quarry.












The main urban meeting place is Goiko Plaza, is centrally located, they can play, talk and be protected from rain.  














SkatePark environment also stands out. It's used as a place for sports, talk, sunbathing. And they go to the area behind the tank to be quiet, for a picnic or walk.
















Physical exercise
They use urban unconditioned spaces to play customed sports:
Football-raquetball, handball in interior squares of buildings, climb trees..
They use Betiondo parking as circuit for bikes and skate.
They also use public sport installations, soccer fields and especially the ping pong tables.
They are aware of the exercise done in their daily routes walking. They also frequent routes to walk
 
 














Healthy food:
They know where to go to collect chestnuts, fruits, mushrooms and berries.

They know some greengrocers, although many answer the question of where to buy healthy food with sites that sell cold cuts to make you a sandwich.
They use fountains and appreciate water quality.
An interesting idea sources here: "Ermua Mugi y las fuentes!".


 











We think this mapping has connected this group of young people with dynamics of Ermua Mugi!, valuing healthy habits and becoming aware of the places and healthy activities they are already practicing. 
The map shows which are the activities that young people in Ermua practice and where they do, so we can strengthen them or generate new activities and devices in these spaces. For example, setting up "abandoned places" regarding to the use that people are already doing in them, or generating an activity related to "climb trees".
It also allow us to conduct a preventive work, for example to monitor the water quality in drinking fountains or the use of glyphosate and other toxic chemicals in places of gathering.

2ª table Ermua Mugi! Hibrilaldiak. 

Starting with our experience as "different" in Hibrilaldiak 


MilloMix

It´s an agro-artistic project under construction.
It is to cross diverse varieties of organic corn from our region, witn ideological, cultural and artistic intentions.

2nd table Ermua Mugi! Hibrilaldiak.

On the Thursday 29 of October we were in the 2nd table Ermua Mugi!
As we explained in a previous post we´re working as "different" within Hibrilaldiak's processes.

On this phase we were listening and compiling ideas of everyone connected to EM! and of people related to the project. We had to tune to see what actions or devices we could perform to achieve the proposed challenges:
"Desviejunizar" Ermua Mugi, to be associated with more people, non only older people.
Spread the message of adopt active lifestyles.
Configure the urban as a sport place.

All ideas and proposals were collected in pad/documento colaborativo, leaving a bank of ideas for future revisions.



During 2nd table we approve unanimously to make the action "Mapear ErmuaMugi!" which will be a mapping of public spaces of Ermua made by their young people.
They will map places related with the 3 axes of their strategy: emotional health, physical exercise and healthy food.
We´re working the proposal on this pad.

This map will serve to indicate customs and practices that are exercised in Ermua as "healthy" city in a broad sense. With this map we will be better able to design events that involve and motivate young ermuarras. It can also help to design the space of the city around its uses, and thus respond to certain needs.
We leave you some pictures of Ermua we have done under the 3 axes of action ErmuaMugi!
