Championing the valuable, but often hidden, existing knowledge of a place that is held by local people. Forming connections and networks between individuals and groups who share specific interests in their local area, and in so doing building local capacity to initiate projects and campaigns.
Suitable Audience:
Generally suitable for a wide audience of all ages. Specific themes will attract individuals and groups who share a similar interest.

Consideration also needs to be given to accessibility for people with limited abilities.
