The U.S. Department of State’s MapGive initiative, USAID’s GeoCenter, and the American Red Cross invite you to participate in a series of career panels on *Wednesday Nov 18* as part of Geography Awareness Week and OpenStreetMap Geography Awareness Week (OSMGeoWeek). During this week, teachers, students, community groups, and map lovers around the world join to celebrate geography and make maps with OpenStreetMap (OSM), the free and openly editable map of the world.
As a global coalition of partners, we invite students and young professionals to participate in a series of virtual career panels. The career panels will focus on how professionals use OSM in their work. Our first English panel will feature professionals from the U.S. Government and NGOs, while the second English panel will feature those from the private sector. We encourage you to share this invite broadly across your networks. Each panel will be 1 hour in length with an additional 15 minutes allotted to Q & As. We will use a single Zoom link for both English panels.
