This project invites you to create a personal map that holds relevance to you and your life's journey. Share your map along with the creative process you used within your group. Consider the various definitions of a "map" and reach a consensus on what it means to you. A map can represent not just geographical features but also cultural and personal insights. By reflecting on the essence of maps, we can better understand how they shape our perceptions of the world around us.
