Subjetividad y lugar: jóvenes de Guararí de Heredia ante su comunidad.

Introduction: This article raises the relationship between a neighbourhood and subjectivities shared by young populations, that is, the framework of meanings, ideas, imaginaries, shared conditions in a place that can affect them individually or collectively. Objective: For this reason, this reflection aims to discuss whether the imaginaries of a site have implications for the subjectivity of those who occupy them. Method: It is a qualitative and exploratory research, at this first moment it consisted of group workshops that were carried out in October 2022 with young people who are part of various activities of the Heredia Civic Center for Peace. A recognition was found on the part of young people of neighborhood problems, such as drug use and negative news in which the neighborhood is frequently mentioned. However, those who participate do not intend to delve into these negative ideas of the neighborhood and, on the contrary, express situations of individual and collective development, due to the artistic and educational spaces provided by the Civic Center for Peace. Conclusions: It is concluded that there is an agreement between these young participants in the workshop to develop positive ideas about their neighborhood and show their work within the framework of the Civic Center for Peace; space that they recognize as an instance that opens artistic, educational, sports and animal protection opportunities.
