Park Care Plans
We're launching "Nounifying Parque de la J" - a comprehensive revival project with three major activation events, in which we will have artistic intervention, sports tournaments, a local market and workshops on web3 with the aim of transforming the recreational park into a space inspired by the Nouns universe.
Art
Through a community call, we will paint the base of the installations with noun colors. Then, in partnership with 3-5 visual artists, we will capture their interpretation of the Nouns universe on the park's games and structures.
Web3 Workshops
At each activation, there will be two interactive workshops of 15-30 minutes each, designed to familiarize the community with the Web3 ecosystem and Nouns. The topics of the workshops will be:
What is Web3 and what are Nouns?
What is a wallet and how to start using it?
These workshops will be open for questions and answers, seeking to generate an educational experience that appeals to both those who are new to the topic and technology enthusiasts.
