Group size: 24 participants
Details:
The training in rural France will give participants the unique opportunity to experience and learn about subjective mapping as a tool for community building and inclusion. We aim to help youth workers to develop new skills, using the method of storytelling, illustration and mapping, and discovering new educational tools in their work with young people. The group will be a balanced mix between educators, youth workers and professionals who will explore the methodology together. We are looking for youth and social workers, educators, illustrators, creative writers, urbanists, cartographers, geographers, designers, community workers, artists working on public spaces and urban environment, for space appropriation and community building, storytellers, urban sociologists and landscapers.
About the workshop:
Maps hold unparalleled storytelling power. A map, unlike a photographic sketch, looks like the way we think. Cognitive science nowadays insists on the ability of our minds to create mental maps before we take snapshots, storing information and space representation in a schematic form. We only need a few lines, relations between elements, some dots marking important points – for a whole story of experiences to come alive in our imagination. The most wonderful appeal of maps, perhaps, is that it stores and expresses our emotions into minimalistic shapes. We want to explore the beautiful subjectivity of maps as a tool for intercultural understanding, inclusion and active participation, especially related to migration. “Subjective Mapping” aims to offer alternative sources of non formal education, expression and therapy. Our proposal is to explore educational tools for social work and community building using cartography, illustration, storytelling and creative writing to engage Europeans in intercultural learning, initiatives for inclusion and active participation.
