Join us for a webinar introducing participatory mapping and discover the various ways to run creative community-based mapping workshops. Jina Lee, a director of Livingmaps Network, will share their latest community mapping projects including Young Citizens Atlas, a platform providing a freely accessible toolkit of resources which teachers and youth workers can download and use for map making projects, and Every Dog is a Lion in its Home, an ongoing active participatory mapping project gathering personal geographies of place, identity and belonging within London’s Ukrainian communities.

Find out more about how libraries can use participatory mapping techniques to add perspectives from underrepresented communities to local history collections/archives, with a particular focus on the LKN exhibition, Chinese and British.
