resorting to various formats and strategies to enable critical , plural interpretations of the projects and works that are presented , and to associate the past with problems that are still relevant today .
The link with art is also what has made the park one of the most visited spaces by schools and groups of children and adolescents in the City of Buenos Aires . The education department organises ongoing guided visits , workshops and special activities that tackle current topics relating to human rights , to build bridges between the past and the present . The shaping of identity , freedom of expression and diversity are topics that are always on the agenda , to generate spaces for reflection and work among young people and thus strengthen the construction of critical interpretations of reality .

To transmit is to meet with others because the challenges of democracy are largely at play in the public space . Therefore , the idea is to create meeting places , to give meaning to the collective , to find common spaces without specific forms , prejudices or preconceptions . This concept of permanent , dynamic construction and alert minds has enabled us in these twenty-two years to form and consolidate a large network of relations in our community , with our students , artists , activists , teachers and researchers , as well as strong ties with other countries and communities .
All these relations are what constitute the impetus to continue to construct a suitable strategy for work , production and action . Each one of the challenges that has been set involves continuing to work as a team to think about , imagine and develop a place that honours the work carried out by preceding generations and is always open to the future generations . Today , it is clear that new and challenging questions are arising about almost everything , with few , uncertain answers . However , I am certain that when I look at the work we do and the commitment of each person who in one way or another constitutes the park , we will find new ways to connect , to hug , to reflect together and accompany each other in the most difficult times , to construct a “ new normal ” that is fairer and more caring .
