Green Mapping; Euro friends
26/10/09
After 4 days of action packed mapping fun, we said good bye to our 20 European visitors. Local people shared ideas and exchanged information with the visitors from Germany, Romania and Hungary about our area.
Most of the action was hosted by KWMC: film screenings with talks and workshops from local environmental campaigners. The highlight was on Friday, National Get Online day, where the visitors went out with local people to explore the area, and using different media tools documented Knowle West. All the content gathered on the day was uploaded to the Knowle West Green Map. A community resource that was originally put together by local people.

The project is called the 4 B Hives as each cities name starts with B and the idea is we all work as a colony. So the visit wouldn't have been complete without a trip to see some bee hives! Lawrence Western Community Farm very kindly hosted a visit for us, giving us a taster bee keeping session with honey treats to boot!
