First-year students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities at the Universitat Jaume I will carry out a participatory research project in Vilafranca to analyze women’s meeting spaces through traditional washhouses. This initiative, called "Llavadors Lovers", is part of the Service-Learning (ApS) program within the Social Anthropology course, taught by Professor Xavier Ginés, and is supported by an agreement with Micel·li Ambient Coop. V., alongside the collaboration of the Vilafranca Town Council, the Vilafranca Secondary School, and several local associations.

Historically, washhouses have played a fundamental role as socialization spaces, particularly for women, as they provided a place to share experiences and knowledge. This heritage and social significance have driven the project, which aims to analyze and revitalize these spaces by adapting them to current needs.

The main objective is to study the gender perspective over time and the role washhouses have played in the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. This approach will allow students to apply ethnographic methods to understand how these spaces have evolved and the impact social changes have had on community life.

The study will take place during the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year and will combine theoretical classes with fieldwork in Vilafranca. Students will conduct interviews with people from different generations, organize intergenerational workshops, and engage in collaborative activities with local associations, such as women's and retirees’ groups.

The project will also involve the Vilafranca Secondary School, which will participate in educational and social activities to foster youth engagement with local heritage. The UJI teaching team, a coordinator from the Micel·li cooperative, and institutional support from the Town Council will also contribute to the project.

This initiative offers students the opportunity to combine academic training with practical application in a real-world context. Moreover, the project will help develop transversal skills, such as heritage management, working with diverse groups, and understanding cultural and social diversity.

Thus, the aim is for students to experience how washhouses can be revitalized through cultural, social, and educational uses, while also strengthening the connection between the University and the local community.

"Llavadors Lovers" seeks not only to recover these spaces as historical heritage but also to promote social cohesion and rural revitalization. Through this project, Vilafranca becomes an example of how traditional spaces can be repurposed to revitalize community life and encourage civic participation.
