GeoForAll’s mission is make geospatial education opportunities open to all
and to make sure we all work together to create global citizens
contributing to the betterment of humanity. Please be our GeoAmbassadors
and share these ideas with all. Open principles in education (open
educational resources, free and open software, open data, open standards
etc) are key for true empowerment of staff and students globally and making
education and opportunities accessible to all . We look forward to working
and building collaborations with all interested in this education mission.
Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid of
extreme poverty and enabling broadly shared prosperity for all.

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation  is the world’s largest Geospatial
ecosystem , so we welcome you to the huge network of our partners and
collaborators globally from governments, industry , universities, NGOs
worldwide that you can connect to  expand your ideas rapidly. Open
innovation is key in driving Digital Economy opportunities and we are

May the FOSS be with everyone…
