This Geography Awareness Week, join us for a special 2-hour Mapathon, where we’ll map for good alongside Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders, Ärzte ohne Grenzen) helping to tackle global challenges and support disaster response efforts through the power of geography!

What’s the goal?
We’re creating life-saving maps for disaster response—and we need YOUR help. Whether you're new to mapping or already an OpenStreetMap pro, this is your chance to contribute to meaningful change, learn new skills, and dive into the importance of geography.

When?
Tuesday, 18th November 2025 | 2-hour event (This time, it’s not on Wednesday—join us on Tuesday during Geography Awareness Week!)

Where?
This time, it's not at Red Cross Switzerland, but over on Kanzleistrasse 126 at the Office of Ärzte ohne Grenzen!

What to bring?
Your laptop
