Acesso em:.2318-1346https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/13061This work is an excerpt from the research “The scrap juice”, which investigates the potential of unstructured materials, for the production of toys and games for children, in public spaces in the city of Jequié – BA. In this text, the constitution and potential of public spaces are analyzed, specifically, two squares, of community initiative, built with scraps, for children's games, as well as for interrelationships between adults. The research is anchored in the qualitative approach and the data were collected through the application of a questionnaire (online), via e-mail, to two citizens, creators of the playful/community squares. The analysis showed that the squares built with scrap toys at the initiative of the residents, in spaces relegated by the public management of the municipality of Jequié – BA, are constituted, first, as a place of inventiveness, authenticity and citizen protagonism, so that all: children, teenagers, young adults and the elderly, conceive the space as part of themselves, in addition to enhancing collective exchanges and learning, through community events, games and children's gamesAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Brinquedo-sucataEspaços públicosAprendizagensToyPublic spacesLearningArtigo de Periódico10.18542/nra.v8i3.9626
