Citizenship and Creativity: Strengthening the Common
DOI:

multiculturalism, mental health, systemic approach, participatory action researchAbstract
This work focuses on the importance of social creativity as a generator of active and conscious citizenship. It supports the neighborhood recovery initiative carried out in Chile as an example of co-responsible management and as a case study of activation and revitalization of social fabric and local public space. Concerted public action and the resulting synergy illustrate the importance of collaborative work between socio-community organizations and municipal and state institutions. These propositions are supported by a qualitative analysis of media discourses on the subject for contextualization. Citizenship is strengthened by exploring new forms of political articulation that bring decision-makers and inhabitants closer, thus changing the city-citizenship relationship in the light of territorial development.
