Communication and Engagement

The Implementation Steering Group met today, including a session with Dr Rachel Hughes to introduce the group to innovative and creative ways of engaging our communities.
Rachel focused on the Lle Llais project in Ynys Môn, which is part of the approach of the Public Map Platform, a two-year research initiative led by Cambridge University to make places in the UK better for the people who live there. Lle Lais uses the concept of multi-sensory mapping to bring together communities and local authorities to engage, share stories and experiences with the intention of co-creating their future, together.
