Entering the Process: Activism, Community and Power

At the beginning of phase B of our seminar you have been asked to identify people who are already active for democratic landscape transformation. These can be planners and designers, NGOs or activists, or people at the interface of these categories. We created a list earlier, but it has a very US/European focus, due to the context of our project. We really want to expand this and hope you can bring in

Cross-cutting activity: Readings, concepts and definitions

  • Start: April 2, 2025
  • Due: July 2, 2025

While working in your group, please start to express your personal understanding of the relation of landscape and democracy in the form of a concept map with linking words or any other diagrammatic representation. Please make your maps very visual and not just verbal. Think critically about why one map differs from another.

The final product is a shared concept map that integrates the various understandings present within your team.

About concept mapping

Before starting the exercise you can read this article by Joseph D. Novak & Alberto J. Cañas about Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them. This paper gives a good explanation of how concept maps are conceived and developed.

You can use any tool you like for producing your concept map. However, since the result needs to be submitted digitally we recommend the following open source software for producing your maps:

How to present your concept maps

  • Possible format: JPG (for wiki upload) or link to any other resource
  • We give you below a draft image gallery where you can add pictures of your map (in JPG or PNG format)
  • You can present your integrated understanding as one concept map or your present individual ones and the integrated one.
  • add as many additional materials as you need
