In this work we propose a scenario for the history of the recent star formation (during the last 20-30 Myr) in the nearest solar neighbourhood (~150 pc), from the study of the spatial and kinematic properties of the members of the so-called young local associations, the Sco-Cen complex and the Local Bubble, the most important structure observed in the local interstellar medium (ISM).
