This workshop took place as an introduction to the project Mirada Ciudadana, taking advantage of an INEFOP activity, meaning it was brief. However, the people were encouraged to participate actively, and they were able to express their ideas through a short exercise that was distributed to the participants in 3 groups. They expressed their ideas using cards.

The cards were presented to the plenary and the moderator grouped them by topic. From this exercise, some of the main areas of interest were shown: training, meeting place or recreation (square) and negotiations with other organizations such as eg. Public health. The Mayor reported on the efforts that have been made on various issues. The moderator's proposal was to invite those interested in changing these things to do a new workshop with time and plan the work on concrete actions. The Mayor will inform us if there is interest to continue.
