The 2026 Szeged Parking Day was featured in a news article published by Szeged365, highlighting the importance of rethinking urban spaces and creating greener, more liveable environments through the collective use of public spaces.

Held by the University of Szeged (@uniszeged) team in Hungary, the initiative temporarily transformed three parking spaces in the city centre into green, community-friendly areas to promote sustainable mobility and raise awareness of the role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in urban environments.

On September 18, the University of Szeged (@uniszeged) team in Hungary held the 2026 Szeged Parking Day event, temporarily transforming three parking spaces in the city centre into green areas to raise awareness of sustainable mobility alternatives.

The initiative was inspired by the ideas of 75 university and high school students, many of whom also took an active role in organising the event. Researchers, students and local residents also attended, highlighting the importance of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in urban environments.

The event was so successful that it also attracted media attention, increasing the visibility of the initiative and highlighting the importance of rethinking urban spaces in more sustainable ways.

En un momento en el que el cambio climático y el despoblamiento transforman muchos de nuestros paisajes rurales, creemos que mirar hacia el futuro también implica aprender del pasado y de quienes han convivido con estos territorios durante generaciones.

Las huertas, las acequias, las semillas, las formas de cultivar o de organizarse no son solo parte de un paisaje. También son conocimiento. Un conocimiento que se construye en la experiencia cotidiana, que se transmite entre personas y que sigue evolucionando para responder a nuevos retos.

Desde COmCHA queremos comprender cómo ese conocimiento local puede dialogar con la investigación científica para imaginar, de forma conjunta, soluciones que cuiden la biodiversidad y fortalezcan los territorios.

Desde nuestro equipo en la UEx empezamos un precioso proceso de investigación junto a la Red Terrae y la comunidad de Arroyo de la Luz, convencidos/as de que las mejores respuestas nacen cuando la investigación se hace con las personas, y no solo sobre ellas.

Este perfil será nuestro cuaderno de campo :) Un lugar donde compartir no sólo resultados, sino también preguntas, aprendizajes, conversaciones e historias que nos ayuden a entender cómo construimos, entre todas, formas de cuidar lo que nos sostiene.

On October 1, COmCHA's team from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, attended the launch of the “Popular Health and Climate Emergency Surveillance Guide!”. The publication also brings together studies on the Santa Rita de Cássia II Settlement, associated with the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST), in Rio Grande do Sul, and the Potigatapuia Indigenous Movement, an Indigenous people from the state of Ceará.

The guide was organized by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation of Ceará and presented by Graciela Stornini de Almeida, a popular researcher at Fiocruz Ceará and president of the Contraponto Solidarity Economy Producers Association, linked to a university extension project at UFRGS, one of COmCHA’s partners. The event also featured the virtual participation of the publication’s organizer and Fiocruz Ceará researcher Fernando Ferreira Carneiro, as well as the University’s Vice-Pro-Rector for Extension, Patrícia Helena Xavier dos Santos; the coordinator of the ComunicaEcosol extension project, a partner of the Contraponto Association, Professor Vera Regina Schmitz; settlers from the Santa Rita de Cássia II Settlement, Terezinha Ivone de Moraes and José Carlos de Almeida; and Roberta Coimbra, a representative of the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST).

Um território também é feito das histórias de quem vive nele.

No dia 26 de setembro, realizamos, na EEEFM Terra Vermelha, mais uma importante etapa do projeto de Soluções Baseadas na Natureza (SbN) desenvolvido em nosso território: o Mapa Afetivo Socioambiental de Terra Vermelha.

O encontro reuniu moradores da comunidade, incluindo pessoas que também vêm contribuindo com a etapa de História Ambiental da Comunidade, compartilhando, por meio de entrevistas, suas lembranças e vivências no bairro.

Conduzido por Tainá Guimarães Ricardo, o encontro foi um momento de escuta, memória e participação. Juntos, revisitamos lugares, transformações, relações com o ambiente e diferentes percepções construídas ao longo da história de Terra Vermelha.

Entre os participantes, tivemos moradores com 27 a 36 anos de vivência no bairro. Ouvir essas trajetórias é também conhecer Terra Vermelha por uma perspectiva que nenhum mapa convencional consegue mostrar: a de quem acompanhou suas transformações e construiu vínculos com esse território ao longo dos anos.

Mais do que marcar lugares em um mapa, construir um Mapa Afetivo Socioambiental é reconhecer que o território também é feito de afetos, saberes, lembranças, relações e histórias.

A atividade faz parte do projeto de Soluções Baseadas na Natureza, iniciativa vinculada ao Gepese/Ifes – Campus Vitória e integrada às ações do COmCHA, aproximando conhecimento científico, saberes comunitários e participação social.

Nosso agradecimento à EEEFM Terra Vermelha pelo acolhimento, à Tainá pela sensibilidade na condução do encontro, ao professor e pesquisador Leonardo Bis dos Santos, que está à frente do projeto e vem acompanhando de perto essa construção, e a todos que têm contribuído nesse processo.

E, especialmente, nosso carinho e agradecimento a cada morador e moradora que abriu suas memórias e compartilhou conosco um pouco da sua história e da história de Terra Vermelha.

Escutar quem vive o território também é uma forma de pensar e construir o seu futuro. 🌱

During COmCHA’s I International Symposium in May, UFES (@ufesoficial) Dean of Extension, Dr. Ednilson Silva Felipe (@ednilsonfelipe), recalled the beginnings of a project in Jesus de Nazareth, a neighborhood in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, that aimed to explore Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Ednilson noted that what began as a regional project has now reached an international level through COmCHA.

The project has opened discussions on governance, the internationalization of solutions, and knowledge exchange, bringing together teaching, research, extension, and innovation, while also contributing to the development of social technologies, with the ultimate goal of bringing real solutions to people and contributing to improvements in society.

O mapa de Jaburu começou a ser construído muito antes de qualquer marca aparecer no papel: começou nas histórias de quem vive e conhece o território.

No dia 12 de setembro, moradores de Jaburu se reuniram para o Mapeamento Afetivo Socioambiental, compartilhando memórias, percepções, lugares de importância, transformações da paisagem e relações construídas ao longo do tempo.

Cada fala acrescentou uma camada ao mapa. Diferentes olhares foram se encontrando e ajudando a construir uma leitura coletiva do território.

O mapa registra lugares, mas o processo revela relações, memórias, conflitos, afetos e formas de perceber a natureza e as transformações do lugar.
