Malaysia applies her methodology of Cultural Mapping as a way for
residents and outsiders to understand the situation on the southern
fringe of Graz. Based on her long term work with youth and communities
of different cultural backgrounds (Chinese, Indian, Malay) in the UNESCO
Cultural Heritage of George Town in Penang, Pillai developed a manual
about Cultural Mapping of historic sites and their inhabitants,
providing the basis for a more sensitive future urban planning.</div>
<p>In a workshop with artists, art students, educators and cultural
workers Pillai will convey her rich experiences in the work with diverse
social and cultural groups in Penang. Her topic includes the
understanding of communities, building of working groups, mobilisation
of communities, planning of relevant projects and their realisation. In
the socio-cultural diverse environment of the Triestersiedlung in Graz
she will apply her methods for how everyone can participate to identify problems and develop creative solutions.</p>
