Autonomy

Right from the start the project took on, as one of its main objectives, that of making it possible for children to leave their home without being accompanied by an adult so that they could meet friends and play with them in the public areas of the city: from the courtyard to the sidewalks, from the public square to the parks. The need for constant control by adults prevents children from having fundamental experiences such as those related to exploration, discovery, adventure and, each time, overcoming the necessary risks. The impossibility of experiencing these emotions and building awareness creates serious deficiencies in building an adult character made up of rules of behaviour, tools of knowledge and defense.
