Why is it important?
This methodology is a easy way to engage people in critical discussions about the current conditions of and future desires for their communities.
Perspectives
I have worked in community development for many years and have found that the voices of younger stakeholders are often missing from the conversations about how communities should be developing. This methodology is useful in engaging those voices to contribute to the conversations and decision making.
