HAPPY CITIES DO THEY EXIST?

“THE CITY IS NOT MERELY A REPOSITORY OF PLEASURES. IT IS THE STAGE ON WHICH WE FIGHT OUR BATTLES, WHERE WE ACT OUT THE DRAMA OF OUR OWN LIVES. IT CAN ENHANCE OR CORRODE OUR ABILITY TO COPE WITH EVERYDAY CHALLENGES. IT CAN STEAL OUR AUTONOMY OR GIVE US THE FREEDOM TO THRIVE. Charles Montgomery

Make your city famous Different groups from class 8A decided that Bragança should be better known. There are unexplored trails and beautiful spots not even the locals know about.

They set out on a quest for the best places, rode and walked through town and came up with beautiful photos and a renewed sense of friendship.

Blogs, Instagram, photography contests. Let people know about your city!

Happiness is about being different, changing, having fun.

Let's make some changes around town. Cities are often so boring. We could do with a couple more smiles.
