Nov 15-21, 2020
Teachers, students, community groups, and map lovers around the world join together to celebrate geography and make maps with OpenStreetMap, the free and openly editable map of the world.
A global coalition of partners are hosting mapping events at colleges, community centers and other institutions to map places around the globe.
Follow #osmgeoweek on twitter for updates during the week, and share your experiences using the #osmgeoweek hashtag. When editing in OpenStreetMap add the #osmgeoweek2020 hashtag to your changesets to be included in the metrics. For more details about the program and history of Geography Awareness Week, visit the National Geographic Education page.
Find an event near you. Or, let us know if you are planning an event, submit the details or get in touch!
We have guides that can help you to get started mapping and plan your own event! We have a new Maps.me guide this year that makes it easy to map your local community.
Using Maps.Me to navigate and add places to Openstreetmap in your community
This guide is for OSM leaders, mapping event organizers (and potential event organizers!), mappers who are interested in spreading the word, and anyone you know with a social media platform that could reach a potentially interested audience!
