Community Mapping 

• Using the presentation to help, define community mapping and its relevance to identifying resources and support networks.

Our Community

• • Divide learners into small groups and provide each group with a community mapping template.
  • Facilitate a brainstorming session where groups identify and map out existing resources, organisations and support networks in their community related to violence prevention and support for girls.
  • Encourage participants to be inclusive and comprehensive in their mapping, considering both formal and informal resources.

• Ask leaners to attach their community maps to the wall and invite everyone to take a walk around to view each other's work.
• Facilitate a reflection and discussion on the similarities and anything that's from their ideas. 
• Discuss:
  • how some of these can be used to address violence between girls.
  • how can we ensure everyone is aware of the support available?

Extension: Create a large vision map of the community, signposting support and resources available.
