As a global community media movement, Green Map System has been promoting environmental sustainability and community participation using mapmaking as its medium since 1995. Local leaders pair adaptable tools and universal Green Map iconography with local knowledge to chart Sustainable Living, Nature and Culture & Society. Green Maps help illuminate important issues and build networks to address problem sites and expand involvement in positive change. Projects are underway in over 550 diverse locations in 55 countries with more than 360 published maps in unique forms such as murals, interactive websites and paper guides as seen at GreenMap.org

During this presentation you will be introduced to Green Mapmaking and the multimedia resources available to develop your own project, including the Open Green Map, an interactive mapmaking tool, as well as youth and 'traditional' Green Mapmaking tools through video and online demonstrations.
