Maps – The Peters Projection

Share

Language: English

The comparison between the two planispheres raises awareness of the existence of different ways of representing the world: both the projections include a message of equity and/or iniquity, hierarchy and/or equality among communities.
This activity helps to develop the capacity of decentralization, that is observing the same phenomenon also from different unusual perspectives.
