This article presents only some results that emerged from a complex field research activity carried out between 2018 and 2019. The research was motivated by the participation in the "Trans-Urban EU-China" international project, dedicated to the «transition towards urban sustainability through socially integrative cities in the EU and in China». Specifically, the empirical study focused on "Scarabò. A city to educate", a festival of education that takes place every year in the historic center of Macerata, making more than 40 educational workshops and several recreational activities available to children and all citizens. On this occasion, the outcomes of the interviews given by 111 children participating in the initiative are reported, and we pedagogically dwell on the subjects of the educating city, seen from the perspective of lifelong education, and of urban spaces conceived as spaces of significant relationship. "Together is better" is the expression that summarizes the children’s responses, which urge to rethink the places of the city educationally.
Keywords: Educating city, lifelong education, urban spaces, children and urban social relations, "Scarabò. A city to educate", Trans-Urban EU-China.
