Abstract

In recent years, despite globalisation processes, that have contributed to uniform societies, generating a constant loss of effectiveness of the local, practices of territorial development aimed at highlighting local peculiarities and the places that define a territory, in which communities identify themselves, are strongly emerging. Participatory processes can play a decisive role in identifying the reference places for a community, through which citizens are called upon to make decisions in governance processes. This is the case of community maps, which represent a clear example of subjective and participatory representation of space. In community maps, place becomes the territorial dimension of reference. These assumptions form the basis of the Native Project, which aims to encourage secondary schools students to discover places, starting a process aimed at creating community maps and territorial storytellings to stimulate a greater awareness of territorial values, with the hope of enhancing their sense of citizenship.
