Paper presented at the AMPS conference "A Focus on Pedagogy: Teaching, Learning and Research in the Modern Academy", 20-22 April, 2022 One of the purposes of the A-Place project "Linking places through networked artistic practices",1 cofunded by the Creative Europe 2019-2023 programme, is to create transversal learning spaces with placemaking activities that link artistic practices with educational programmes at different levels, from high school to higher education. Since October 2019, we have been carrying out in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a city which is part of the metropolitan area of Barcelona, Spain, a comprehensiveprogramme of learning activities integrated in the community. The purpose of these activities was to involve students and staff from university and high schools, artists and neighbours, in a common reflection on the sense of place and the collective identity. The activities included mapping of the sociophysical territory carried out onsite –pedagogic activities in public spaces and public facilities, urban walks with neighbours representing diverse social groups– and online –with digital maps andthrough social media–, and joint teaching and learning activities with high-school pupils and architecture students to identify meanings associated to places and represent them with texts, images, videos and installations in public spaces.
