Last week we had our first community meeting on Grand Turk. Having got to know only few people before the meeting, we tried to invite as many people as we could, spreading the word in the community, talking to people and handing out flyers/ posting posters. While we had only a select few number of people (10), everybody enjoyed themselves! We had some great enthusiastic discussion in our first exercise, creating a historical timeline, and found out a number of interesting facts about West Road community and Grand Turk in general.
Afterwards we did some verification of the maps that we had previously established, and again had a great discussion on how different areas are being used.
All in all everybody seems really excited about the project and cannot wait to get on with all the interviews!
