Mapathon Missing Maps – YouthMappers UGB with CartONG – Mapathon Missing Maps – YouthMappers UGB avec CartONG

Short presentation of the event: Un mapathon est un atelier de cartographie collaborative. Il s’agit de cartographier sur OpenStreetMap (le “Wikipédia des cartes”) à partir d’outils simples et d’une image satellite des zones du monde qui ne sont pas encore visibles sur les cartes pour la résilience et l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations qui vivent dans ces territoires.

A mapathon is a collaborative mapping workshop (online or in-person). The concept is simple : the participants are mapping on OpenStreetMap (so-called ‘Wikipedia for maps’) with simple tools and from satellite imagery, world’s areas literally ‘missing’ from maps or undermapped. To create maps serves for better resilience and better living conditions for people living in these places.
