Abstract | The aim of Are We That Map? was to co-develop participatory map-making workshops that actively includes and engages children and young people with a lived experience of learning disabilities/difficulties (LD/D). The project was a partnership between Newham based Rosetta Arts, purpleSTARS, RIX Centre, University of East London (UEL) and Living Maps Network. Employing a creative, iterative approach we developed workshops that would be explorative and happy to embrace the unknown. We aimed to develop a series of exercises that could ‘wake us up’ to notice how our bodies' sensory experiences create our own unique experience of the world and how we could share this making a map. This work feeds into Living Maps Young Citizens Atlas. Working together in a unique collaboration, we devised, delivered, reviewed and refined a Map Making workshop package in which people with the lived experience of Learning Difficulties and Differences LD/D developed A co-production approach was used, that included people Following a robust series of development workshops, we carefully designed, prepared and identified possible activities to include in the Map Making workshop package. |
