<td valign="top"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello list,<br><br>Here’s an update on plans for this year’s Geography Awareness Week[1], which kicks off on 17 Nov. This year’s theme is ‘The Future of Food’ and we’re targeting colleges/university communities across the country to host events. If you have an affiliation with a college/university (any school, really) and can serve as local coordinator for an event, please use the wiki page[2] to <br><ol><li>Add yourself as coordinator and </li><li>Describe plans for your event.</li></ol>This is a great opportunity for TeachOSM to initiate greater connections in the academic community to increase awareness of OpenStreetMap both as a tool for geographic education, as well as social science and community service. Our friends at National Geographic have been very helpfully assisting the OpenStreetMap community reach their network of educators and they have granted
liberal use of their logos[3] for the event, so
please use them alongside OpenStreetMap logos in your promotional
materials. <br><br>Suggested activities include mapping groceries, farmers markets, community gardens, food distribution centers, identification of food deserts. There may also be things we can digitize for Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team or US State Dept’s Mapgive. Your suggestions warmly welcomed!<br><br>If there is appetite, I'm happy to set up a Google hangout or similar to coordinate. Otherwise comment and thoughts warmly welcomed. Cheers,<br></div><br>[1] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/programs/geographyawarenessweek/?ar_a=1">http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/programs/geographyawarenessweek/?ar_a=1</a><br>[2] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeographyAwarenessWeek_2014">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeographyAwarenessWeek_2014</a><br>[3] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
