WHAT IS A MAP? Maps come in many forms Maps are socially constructed Conventionalised Shaped by political, economic, social and cultural discourses of the time Appealing means of communication Can represent time Relational Reflect the map-maker’s worldview

HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE PM? Pathways Through Participation
The project will explore how and why people get involved and stay involved in different forms of participation over the course of their lives.
Participation means many things to many different people. The project will look at participation in a very broad sense and consider the act of taking part in a wide range of social or civic activities.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE PM? First stage of data collection: gauge the
range of opportunities and activities for voluntary engagement in the local area and beyond.
Several mapping sessions in each community Explore the mapping process, not just the
maps themselves Maps will aid the preparation of the second
phase of the research...
