Tree of Strength


We use a map to identify the relationships between different places. By drawing a personal map, we identify the relationships between ourselves and the community that we live in. It can represent the journey of life, highlighting significant events, milestones, and experiences. It includes places we live in, travelled to, or important moments that have shaped us. It is a visual narrative of personal history. It could be a representation of our emotional landscape, with different places associated with various emotions and states of mind. For example, we might have visited some places that made us feel happy, sad, love, fear, or facilitated our personal growth. A personal map could help us understand our emotional patterns and triggers associated with our relationship with our community. 

The immigrant children crafted a map to the external realm of the Kingston community, offering us a valuable compass to navigate the intricate landscape of their inner thoughts and emotions.
