TURNING IDEAS INTO ACTION: A NEW PARTICIPATORY IM-EQ WORKSHOP IN VALENCIA
What does it take to turn a good idea into a reality that improves people's lives? This was the question that brought together the IM-EQ group in Quatre Carreres during the latest participatory workshop held in Valencia, focused on implementing the proposal prioritised by the community during the previous phases of the project. Several months ago, residents, professionals and representatives from local organisations identified challenges related to health, well-being and opportunities for community participation in addressing obesity and its determinants. Through a participatory process, they explored their local environment, discussed possible solutions and prioritised a proposal with strong potential: the creation of Neighbourhood Community Spaces for Health Promotion and Community Well-being. In this new session, the objective was no longer to decide what to do, but rather to begin answering a different question: how can we make it happen?
