OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping project that enables people to contribute, update, and use open-source geographic data. SDG4 focuses on guaranteeing inclusive and high-quality education for everyone and encouraging opportunities for lifelong learning. By providing great materials and opportunities for students and educators, OpenStreetMap has emerged as a significant tool to support SDG4.
Throw this program, OSM Uganda has supported students in improving their geospatial literacy and knowledge by allowing them to interact with and evaluate real-world geographic data. Students are using up-to-date and freely available maps to investigate themes such as urban planning, environmental studies, and community development. Students improve their critical thinking abilities and obtain a better knowledge of the interdependence of their environment and society by using OpenStreetMap.
This is an ongoing project with results and impact to showcase
