Summary:
"There are many ways for communities to map knowledge. Here is one proposed process and framework, based on methods and questions that have been useful for some Whose Knowledge? partners so far. This is not necessarily a linear process...
Step 1. Brainstorming Context and Key People, Events, Issues
With your community, perhaps in a document or whiteboard, begin to think together about some key areas of your knowledge. This might help you map both the context(s) in which you are living and working, and the important work you and your community have been doing. This is not an exhaustive list, but a starting point!
People
- Who are the people or groups that matter in your community?
- Who is important for your community or the broader world to know about?
- Who inspires you?
- What are these people’s stories?
- Why are they important?
Events
- What major events matter in your community?
- What happened in the world that deeply affected your community?
- What happened and when, that the world should understand?
- What are the struggles or celebrations that have shaped your community over time?
- What’s important to know about each of these events?
- How does this event link to the people and issues you consider important?..."
