A room for everyone

The Madrid Health Center (CMS) in Usera is one of the municipal health promotion centers most involved in the Healthy People Strategy, which has been carried out in the city of Madrid since 2010. In the following period a collaboration between the Faculty of Fine Arts and the CMS emerged and the CMYK Project was developed and implemented.
A room for everyone is a project for young people to stimulate them to go to the center's sexual and reproductive health program. The objective was to get young people to trust the professionals who are in the center and understand it as an educational, fun and helping meeting point. The ideal room is designed with young people between 15 and 17 years old. In collaboration with local associations, antique furniture is collected, which is then recycled and redesigned, from the teachings of Fine Arts students. These also offer the young people of the institute three furniture, coaching and photography workshops. The furniture is then installed in the health center in "a room for all". Friends and family are invited to get to know it (and to know the center and its services) and use it. The center and the young people gain a beautiful corner, which the young people consider their own and where they will feel at ease when they want to visit the center.
