Cultural Mapping
What we offer
This training is aimed at introducing the concept, methodology and use of Cultural Mapping. Cultural mapping is a way to identify, record and assess the cultural assets and resources of a place and a community. Data from cultural mapping provides in-depth understanding of a place and community and facilitates informed decision-making. The 3-5 day training includes theory and field practice and can be tailored to focus on environmental, social or economic assets (e.g. cultural practices, knowledge and skills, social organisation, buildings and spaces, livelihood activities and products, history, memory and stories etc.).
Who it is useful for
NGOs, citizen groups, academics or professionals who wish to know more about a place for the purpose of interpretation, promotion, intervention, planning or design.
