Session
In this presentation, we will share our experience conducting an OpenStreetMap training program with the Kibera Girls' Soccer Academy in Kenya. We will cover various aspects such as the planning process, development of curriculum, hands-on mapping activities, and achieved outcomes. Our aim is to provide practical insights that attendees can use to run similar programs in other schools or regions, promoting greater OpenStreetMap engagement among youth.
