Goals

Problem statement:

The village of Darakov has no public space for either rest or discussion. This is problematic, because the village is not well informed about current events in the region or the world, events which affect them.

A space to share these events would raise the level of community connection and awareness. Also, while implementing the project, the village will begin to practice volunteerism. We won’t hire workers and the village population will provide part of the equipment.

Proposed Solution:

We would like to arrange a space in the village where members of all generations and genders will gather together. Along with getting the needed information, will also spend time on communicating with each other in a comfortable environment.

We would like to arrange a square, with swings for children, as well as chairs, with horizontal bars for the youth, and a table and benches for the elderly. We will also erect an information board for announcements, news, and discussion. for discussion from time to time.

This square will be nicely arranged, where a young parent can take their child to play, where youngsters will come to exercise, and where the elderly can play backgammon or chess.

Sustainability:

The square will give rise to the revival of the village life and active involvement.It will remain for many years and it will be possible to use it for the recreation purpose as well as to discuss social and political events.

In future, we can expand it. For example, a small library corner, or a shop or other equipment can be added - new swings and horizontal bars.

Equal gender opportunity:

As already said above, the project targets and will be attractive for male as well as female members of the society. Most importantly, it will promote the engagement of women in public and social life.
