Open Mapping Mentorship

The HOT Community Working Group initiated a Mentorship Program to provide peer to peer learning and knowledge exchange in the humanitarian and open mapping space.

The Program is also inspired by Angela Teyvi during her Community Working Group Ask Me Anything (AMA) Session in March 2022. Angela shared how mentorship has played a major role in her career development and capability in humanitarian open mapping. You can watch the recording here.

We built upon the knowledge and efforts of other mapping communities in conducting their mentorship program, most specifically Women+ in Geospatial (W+G) Mentorship Programme.

The pilot program was initiated in 2022 and continued in 2023.
