2. TASK:
Take notes and prepare the answer for the following questions:
1. Why did Candy decide to create this presentation?
Candy decided to create this presentation because where she lived in the United States, there was
an abandoned house nearby and she thought of how it could make it a more pleasant space for her
neighborhood, and she also thought of something that changed her life forever. In 2009, he lost
someone he loved very much. Her name was Joan and she was a mother to her. And his death
was sudden and unexpected.
2. What has been the scope of your idea?

The scope of my idea of this presentation has been to reflect on sharing more with our neighbors
in the public space, sharing more of our hopes so that our community can reflect our needs and
dreams.
The scope of realizing how powerful our public spaces can be if we are given the opportunity to
have a voice and share among ourselves.
The scope of being able to understand that there are two most valuable things we have, our time
and our relationships with other people.

Before dying Candy wants that anyone who passes can pick up a piece of chalk that is reflected
in their life and share their personal aspirations on the giant blackboard of that abandoned house.
Candy wants to make our neighbors understand in a new and enlightening way; how can we try
to make a public space for reflection and contemplation and remember what really matters most
to us, and that all this makes us grow and change.

5. What does Candy hope to achieve with this campaign?

Candy wants to achieve with this campaign that the people around us help to improve our lives,
transmit wisdom, share more with neighbors the public space, get a better understanding of our
landscape, that our communities can reflect our needs and dreams today.
