This hands-on session introduces Ecosystem & Engagement Mapping, a set of participatory tools that help collaboratives visualize networks, identify gaps, and design more resonant and resilient engagement strategies. Ideal for cross-sector collaborations or community-driven teams, the session will introduce an adaptable framework that can be used to identify pinpoint areas of friction, build alignment, and strengthen trust, coordination, and shared ownership across complex systems. Participants will leave with a clear, adaptable framework they can apply directly to their own context.

Learning Question:  How can collaboratives map their ecosystems to identify where energy, friction, and opportunity exist, and use that insight to strengthen coordination and shared ownership, trust, and accountability across sectors and communities?
