The children left their mobile phones and came to you to play in the square. Thank you very much for that. Good luck in what you are doing!

Honestly, what I experienced yesterday at Papa's Mill with the Jazzy Nomads' Paramythadiko was one of those moments that makes you rethink how we use public spaces. It was an urban intervention and I'm still shocked by how simply and powerfully it worked.
