Mid-Point Course Reflection and Check-in with GUB

Mid-Point Course Reflection:

You have reached the halfway mark in this map course and accomplished much! In Stage 1 Laying the Groundwork, you: 1) conducted research about child-friendly cities, 2) drafted foundational map documents, 3) identified map partners and began searching for a map designer (or two) and 4) considered funding pathways.

In Stage 2 Collaborate with Partners, you: 1) learned about Participatory Planning, 2) watched GUB’s Six Key Principles of Youth Engagement videos, 3) prepared for and facilitated Partner Meeting 1, and 4) gathered initial map data from partners and their young people.
