In this Lunchtime Talk, Play Disrupt will be sharing young people’s creative outputs from the Public Map project, and the journey of co-designing new ways of making maps. Public Map is a University of Cambridge-led research project and online mapping platform designed to increase civic participation in planning, particularly in regards to young people. As part of Public Map, Play Disrupt have worked with over 400 young people across Anglesey, co-designing a process to create animated symbols for children to illustrate how they feel about where they live.
