Do you want to propose one?


Collaborative events aimed at knowledge sharing and capacity building are fundamental to produce high quality open data, as well as to enhance your skills and to have ready feedback on your mapping activity from expert mappers. 

If you are already an OpenStreetMap contributor and you are in touch with a mapping community, you can join UN Mappers with your friends. All you need to do is to join our community in Discord, subscribe to the UN Mappers Newsletter, and/or to follow our social media channels to stay up to date on our upcoming mapping initiatives.

If you feel inspired, you can propose an event with your mapping group in collaboration with UN Mappers. In this case, just let us know through our social media or fill our contact form. Remember to take pictures to commemorate the event!

The UN Maps Team offers training opportunities on any UN Maps and OpenStreetMap editing topic. We build and deliver trainings either online or on site, typically in universities and high schools. Currently, we are offering trainings in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, but you can find a wider range of supported languages and material on the UN Maps Learning Hub.
