The ongoing process is supported by shared responsibilities where the different actors that make up the team, from their experiences and in a horizontal manner, have been proposing activities and strategic meetings to give continuity to the project and add new approaches and allies.
The neighbors and leaders of the ‘Señor de los Milagros Barrio’ in Independencia, who are notoriously involved in the improvement of their neighborhood, together with the organized women of the ‘Common Pot’, have been providing the necessary spaces and attendance for the workshops and meetings organized.
The Anticovid-19 Independencia Community Committee, made up of social leaders, assumes a bridging role between the barrio organizations and the Municipality, working on the promotion of integral health.
The architects and sociologists of 'Espacio Común', an expert association in urban transformation and participatory processes in the popular city, joins in 2020 from the territorial approach to the work that the Committee had been doing in the ‘barrio’.
In 2021, the link with Señor de los Milagros was made through a participatory process with the community that allowed to establish networks of trust and set common objectives. Thus, the transformation of the barrio's ‘Common Pot’ was considered a priority.
Since this year, the project has been part of the 'Valora Nuestro Barrio' initiative of the College of Architects of Peru, which seeks to link construction companies to social improvement projects in order to obtain the necessary materials and tools.
