Database Information:. The information from the individual maps was entered into the database. The themes of the maps were further analyzed into five broad categories - Culture, Environment, Political, Peace and Conflict, and Other. "Culture" includes topics such as friendship, society, diversity, civilization and human development. Maps showing political boundaries were placed in the "Political" category. Maps with indeterminate or no themes are in the "Other" category. The name and school information is as provided. For errors and omissions please contact the webmaster.
The theme for the 2003 competition was "Making a better world for children." A new page, "Exhibitions," was added to the web site with pictures from four different exhibitions of the children's maps. I'm looking for pictures from other past exhibitions to add to the page. Image files for the international entries are courtesy of Peter van der Krogt, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands and Alberta Auringer Wood, Memorial University, Canada. They were edited for this site at Carleton University. The pictures of the exhibition in Durban were taken by Alberta Auringer Wood. The Canadian entries were scanned by Gennie Leroux, 3rd year Sociology Honours student, Carleton University.
