This event is about putting vulnerable people on the map, specifically mapping for the disabled and for humanitarian action, using OpenStreetMap, a free map of the world created by people like you!
We’ll be mapping for a more inclusive city and for humanitarian action. It’s not only fun to be part of this crowdsourced, participatory project, but you’ll also be helping to create a more inclusive city! We are mapping two main areas and topics: Mapping sidewalks for wheelchair access in the city of Zürich and mapping for humanitarian action.
Catering is provided, but feel free to bring sweets. This mapathon is held in english (german is also OK).
The main sponsor is the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) of the University of Zürich (UZH). It’s also supported by Missing Maps Zürich and the International Office, OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Rapperswil.
