Community Map

• learners gain a better understanding of their community and identify problems to solve.

Using old newspapers and magazines, invite participants to create a collage that represents their community. Ask participants to cut out pictures of places, people, objects, or nature. Based on what they choose to cut out, participants will produce a map using the materials provided. Alternatively, they could draw a community map instead of making a collage.

When the group comes back together, each participant will introduce their community through the work of art it inspired. Discuss what are their mo st and least favourite parts of their community. Where are people most healthy / happy / safe. What about the opposite? Is there anything they’d like to change about their community? You could use the Global Goals grid to see how it relates to their maps.
