MAPATÓ

La cartografia una eina humanitària. T’invitem a participar-hi

Mapató is a unique opportunity to digitally map the most vulnerable areas of developing countries to help local and international NGOs, like MSF, to use these maps to provide a more effective response to the crises that affect these regions.

The activity that we offer consists of gathering interested persons without any previous knowledge who want to help to map elements of these territories collectively. We are supported by Doctors Without Borders, within the framework of the Missing Maps project and the technical team from the Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Service (SIGTE). 

The objective of the day is to collectivelymap different cartographic voids. To take part you only need basic knowledge of computing and internet and lots and lots of enthusiasm to take part!
