Abstract: The link between spatial design, the social construction of gender and gendered spatial education becomes evident in school playgrounds, where social and cultural roles are reproduced.In many cases we can observe the segregation of boys and girls in games and hierarchies between different zones, especially between center and periphery.Taking in account the importance of the school playground as a space for learning, play and coexistence, a methodology is proposed that, based on a collective process, seeks to generate proposals that incorporate gender equality, cooperation and social inclusion.This methodology combines different techniques, from the most traditional observations and interviews to resources from the dynamics used for citizen participation.The case that is presented demonstrates how to reflect and experiment with the reorganization of space can be a starting point to achieve deeper changes, both at the educational and community level.
