Given the fracturing of virtual and physical spaces, young people are less involved in their local surrounding spaces. Yet, investing the community space is related to sense of community and elicits social inclusion. We explore the complex relations among social inclusion, sense of community, spaces and artifacts through a case study on pinholes. Pinholes appeared to be powerful semiotics artifacts, simple to use, that allow equally empowered groups of participants of different ages and cultures to jointly explore, produce and share meanings about their territories and identities.
