<div>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
On behalf of Geo4All we would like to welcome you to the<b> "Open Geospatial Science & Applications" webinar series</b>. Thanks to
<b>Dr. Rafael Moreno and colleagues at University of Colorado Denver</b> for organising the Geo4All webinar series. If you are interested to do a webinar for the Geo4All webinar series please contact Rafael (email- rafael.moreno@ucdenver.edu ) and he will be
happy to discuss ideas.<br>
<br>
Webinar details below:<br>
<br>
<b>Date and Time : May 5, 2016 (Thursday) at 1:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time (7:00 AM US/Canada Mountain Time)<br>
<br>
Topic : Humanitarian Mapathons for Children<br>
<br>
Presenters: Maria Antonia Brovelli, Marco Minghini, Aldo Torrebruno (Politecnico di Milano), and Tyler Radford (Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)</b><br>
<br>
<b>Talk abstract:</b><br>
<br>
This webinar will provide an introduction on humanitarian mapathons for children, which represent a remarkable educational experience as they combine geography and awareness about our world, technology and humanitarian aspects. Following the successful experiences
of Politecnico di Milano (Italy), the most important educational and technical aspects of humanitarian mapathons with children will be outlined. The purpose is to provide the GeoForAll community, and specially the teachers involved (at all levels), with some
practical instructions on how to set up and run their own mapathons. The webinar is organized in collaboration with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) under the umbrella of the United Nations Open Geospatial (UNOGeo) initiative of which GeoForAll and
OSGeo are partners. <br>
