📖 Weekend blog: Ever wonder why the ratio of beginners and intermediate/advanced mappers is significant in OSM?

Let us unpack this issue by navigating my experiences launching the first-ever YouthMappers Regional Validation Hub: Philippine Camp. 🌏

Never imagined myself trying freediving, but thanks to my friends, I took the plunge 😅 Enjoyed the experience despite being a non-swimmer who fears open water 🌊

Grateful to my Coach who’s very patient with me during the two-day session 🤗 Thank you, Coach Nou!

The YouthMappers Regional Validation Hub: Philippine Camp concluded its 4-session program 🇵🇭

I congratulate everyone who participated in this immersive and interactive training camp! I’m very happy building the skills of our mappers/validators ✨

One of the best projects we did at UPRI YouthMappers: developing open-access modules and teaching children some disaster-related concepts thru fun and interactive games 🧩

More highlights from the HOT OpenSummit ‘23-24! 🗺️

It's been amazing to see so many communities getting together to discuss open mapping.

Glad I took that spontaneous trip to Tagaytay this weekend. Much needed breather before diving into reality again 😅🍃

It's been a while since I last used mapswipe. But I’m using my spare time to help out on the project for areas affected by an earthquake in Papua New Guinea.

Check out their project on MapSwipe. They need our help. 🙇🏻‍♀️

On our 3rd session of YouthMappers Regional Validation Hub Camp for PH 🇵🇭

We have Wille Marcel discussing OSMCha, which can be used to help mappers review data changes on OSM.

Thank you for your time, Wille 🤩🙇🏻‍♀️

Celebrating Feye Andal 🎊
Feye's unwavering positivity is truly inspiring. It's a force that pushes me (and countless others) to break boundaries. She's a shining example of #women making waves in #geospatial , and her recognition as a #risingstar is richly deserved.
