Canvases as multi-participatory tools

How to propose, build, use (and reuse) canvases to help individuals, groups, communities of practice to work together, exchanging ideas, experiences, perspectives?The canvas can be a participatory tool, an interactive map that allows the participants of a work session or a collaborative process to have an overview of topics, problems, objectives.
Like any tool, the canvases incorporate orienting meanings and if they are self-produced they can better guide users to tackle challenging tasks.
At the beginning the Workshop will introduce some characteristics of the canvases and subsequently it will use the OPERA format (five-step technique to help the group to produce practical thoughts and hypotheses) to involve the participants in the design of a canavas.
To involve people in the session We will use the Miro collaborative whiteboard platform.
