Over the past five years, a group of researchers, front-line workers and people with lived and living experience have banded together in a spirit of solidarity, attempting to come to terms with the impact of the crisis on individuals and communities. This team invites Community members of Surrey to engage with these stories through a guided audio walk.
Following the walk, participants are invited to participate in a Cultural Mapping and sharing circle. An effective response to the crisis requires the development of shared community understanding and a belief that a coordinated implementation of good policies and actions can produce positive change. Cultural Mapping seeks to use participatory methods of storytelling to represent the authentic knowledge of local communities. This process helps communities and health systems come to terms with best practices and strategies tied to evidence-based research. Participants will be asked to share insights verbally, and to engage in dialogue.
