Through a report of the experience as a volunteer in a community project developed by Casa da Cerca, a museological institution in Almada, Portugal, we intend to bring forward a reflexion on the way it questions the action of Educational Services, helping to design new contexts and possibilities. The construction of an Intercultural Planisphere, a hand made tile mural, thought out as a public arts project, has been developed in the field of utopia, which intends to relaunch the involvement of the local public school community and a group of volunteers around the construction of a new Civic Centre. By proposing new perspectives, our aim is to consider it in the field of critical pedagogy, under the influence of Paulo Freire or Jesús Martín Barbero, who has called out for Map-Educational projects, bringing traditional education institutions to fields located outside themselves, assuming the risk of creating new possibilities when engaging with urban communities.Downloads
