Also with the young people from @programaescolhas / @ajuda2020.e9g, in Casalinho da Ajuda, the Neighborhood Museum – Between Generations has already started to come to life!

In November, two inspiring sessions marked the start of this journey.

At the first meeting, we were welcomed with open arms and guided through the neighborhood through the eyes of the girls. They showed us the streets where they grew up, introduced us to their neighbors – including “the neighborhood grandmother” – and shared their favorite corners with us. Between conversations, laughter and footsteps, together we built a real emotional map of Casalinho: a short journey full of enthusiasm, belonging and living stories.

In the second session, we immersed ourselves in a visual literacy exercise, where photographs intersected with dreams, experiences, tastes and human rights. We began to discover the Bairro as cultural heritage – a place where local businesses, street games and community faces become collective memory. It was proof of how participatory photography can be the click that awakens a critical eye and citizen participation!

The Neighborhood Museum – Between Generations is moving forward like this: with doors opening, stories connecting and paths being built together.

The Neighborhood Museum – Between Generations is a 4Change project, funded by the BIP/ZIP program, which promotes active citizenship and values communities, boosting the social and digital inclusion of seniors from the BIP (Priority Intervention Neighborhoods) of Alcântara and Ajuda – Casalinho da Ajuda, 2 de Maio, Cascalheira/Alvito Velho and Rio Seco.
