This Atlas of the Civic Imagination contains a collection of stories that inspire the civic imagination originating from different parts of the world. The stories are mapped across four general genres:

• non fiction

• popular culture / fictional

• myth / folklore

• religious

The map above contains all entries across these categories as well their Contributors. Participants can also​ migrate, remix and re-create stories by combining elements from one or more submission.

We define civic imagination as the capacity to imagine alternatives to current social, political, or economic conditions; one cannot change the world unless one can imagine what a better world might look like. Too often, our focus on contemporary problems makes it impossible to see beyond immediate constraints and engender a sense that youth voices and action are inconsequential.
