Maps have always been storytelling devices. And, the art of mapmaking is a community-building exercise. Missing Maps and YouthMappers are two programs which provide unique ways to connect humanitarian work to mapmaking. YouthMappers, with university chapters around the world, connects humanitarian mapping needs to education programs. Their main target group is university-level geography (GIS) students. Missing Maps is both a global and local program that supports mapathons around the world. Inspired by both concepts, data scientists Heather Leson and Guido Pizzini co-hosted a Missing Map event for youth at Ecole Internationale Geneva. See below the complete narration;

Thank you for sharing!
But why are you copying and pasting content, when you could have simply shared a short summary, and a link to the original site with richer content?

Anyway, “whiteboard mapping” is an interesting approach. I hope we could try that out ourselves in one of our local outreach activities.
