Fetlar children have been taking part in a research project with a team led by Professor Stephen Scoffham, Canterbury Christchurch University alongside other children in the UK producing maps from their memory of their local area.
They learned what a key was and had to include one in their own map but choice of symbol or colour was left to them. The aim of the project is to involve children from diverse backgrounds and geographical settings to find out what places matter to them.
Evaluation and summary of the data analysis will be made available for all the schools participating at a later date.
