we are after is your expertise and your time to run the session on "Open Street Maps for Activism". This session is intended to cover the step-by-step process of using Open Layers as well as showcasing how OSM is used to report and communicate human rights and environmental issues by advocates. The catch is we are asking all facilitators to offer their time and travel costs as pro bono. In return, CIS will cover for transfers within Ahmedabad and accommodation and all meals during the 3 day workshop.<br><br>I know this is a huge favour to ask at a such short notice!! Do let me know of your interest and if you need any further information. I am also attaching the original 'call for applications'. We have a total of 28 participants, working on diverse projects ranging from reporting of missing persons in Kashmir to mapping of slums in Mumbai.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br><br>Kate<br><br>Kate Morioka<br>Information Analysis and
