Introduction to the UN GGIM Mapathon

The UN GGIM Academic Network invites you and your colleagues to participate in a UN Mappers mapathon on 30 March 2022. UN Mappers is a community of mapping enthusiasts collaborating to collect, validate and disseminate geospatial open data in areas where the United Nations carry field operations with the goal of supporting the decision-making process with more accurate location-based data. UN Mappers is part of Unite Maps, an initiative aiming at enriching topographic and operational data in UN missions and providing peacekeeping and humanitarian actors with better topographic maps, operational geo-information, search and navigation tools, and imagery and street-level base maps. UN Mappers is open to everyone. Support peace and security with open mapping and join our community! For those of you who have not participated in a mapathon before, we will present a one hour workshop on this video where we will introduce you to OpenStreetMap, show you how to conduct a mapathon and the benefits achieved by some past UN Mappers mapathons. The workshop will be conducted by Michael Montani (UN Mappers), Maria A Brovelli (Chair: UN GGIM Academic Network) and Serena Coetzee (Africa Regional representative: UN GGIM Academic Network). The workshop will prepare you so that you can guide your colleagues to participate in the mapathon in March. Apart from learning how to contribute to data for UN missions, participating in the mapathon will also give you insight into OpenStreetMap data and for which purposes it could be useful.
