Participatory mapping is the co-creation of maps with the community, using several tools that can be applied in different social contexts. This method can be applied with other participatory methods, complementing and enriching the community-based research approach.
With mapping it is possible to engage different social groups, develop socioenvironmental diagnoses, co-create knowledge for a more sustainable future and impactful products for social transformations. This workshop will cover the basic concepts of participatory mapping, the main tools and case studies as examples of possible applications of the tools presented, as well as a step by step guide to apply the method.
