In 2011, Sextafeira created an inovative project entitled "The Umbrella Sky Project" that later became a part of the Águeda's famous annual Ágitagueda Art Festival in the Centre Region of Portugal. Anually, during the hot summer months of July, August, and September, a large amount of the city’s narrow streets gain colorful umbrella canopies that provide shade for the pedestrians passing through.

The project has been developed by Umbrella Sky Project of the firm Sextafeira Produções, who are dedicated to creating numerous urban installations using low-cost concepts.

This project has been in countries besides Portugal like Norway, France, and Spain.

The umbrellas canopies floating in the air are a metaphor. This metaphor explains us that many differents races could live in the same comunity (all the umbrellas have a different colour) and all together could make our comunity better and more special as the umbrellas canopies provide a new look to Águeda's streets.
Meanwhile, the creators developed their project in other cities and countries. They chose these countries because they have a large number of different races and they also make these people feel respected and belonged.

In this Padlet, we will talk about a famous umbrella patchwork.
First of all, we will explain what the Umbrella Sky Project is, where we can find it and who are the artists behind it.
Then, we will show you how this project would look in our own school.
Finally, we will share with all of you our points of view on the subject.

We may have different religions, diferrent languages, different coloured skin, but we all belong to one human race.

Experiecing different cultures is one of the the best things a human being can do.

Being different is great because we are all unique and special.

If we were all the same without diversity, the world would be boring.

Beauty has its colour in diversity , has its movement in freedom and has its hope shining through equality.

We also consider that multiculturalism and the diversity of people should be one of the pillars of our society.
Futhermore, education could help to change our world making it more tolerant and increasing the acceptance between different races. Therefore, this project in our school definitely will contribute for students to have a different perspective of this issue.

Now you all know what this amazing creative project is, where in the world you could find it and who are the brainiacs behind it.
In addition to that, we showed you a realistic sketch made by ourselves and explained how we would install such patchwork in our own school and how it would promote issues such as respect, tolerance and difference.
Lastly , we provided you phrases written by us adressing those particular issues we mentioned earlier on.

In order to execute this project, we will need 56 umbrellas, making 7 rows with 8 umbrellas each connecting our school's administrative pavilion and pavilion C.
We would install it in the begging facing the "catwalk" as we call it for people to get a better view of the umbrellas and for aesthetic purposes also (all measurements needed are stated in the sketch above).
This all will be supported by metal ropes both vertically as well as horizontally to prevent the umbrellas from moving around and even from falling to the ground.
