What we’re about
This group is for anyone interested in humanitarian and crisis mapping or/and OpenStreetMap entusiast. We get together with a focus on creating online maps on OpenStreetMap for humanitarian organizations doing field work in the world's most vulnerable places. There is no greater connection to supporting humanitarian work remotely than mapping. Our maps are used by MSF, Red Cross, UN/EC/EU organizations, local governments and NGOs around the world.
If you like to know how this works, visit our monthly Mapathon. We are 5minutes from Hauptbahnhof Zürich.
Everyone is welcome! It is all about learning and mapping together. So if you know nothing about mapping or if you have been an OpenStreetMap mapper from the beginning, we need you! All you need is to bring along a laptop. It's as simple as that.

See all- July MapathonRed Cross Switzerland, Zürich
Hi everyone!
Our next mapathon will be a special one. We are mapping together with MAP FOR FUTURE 🥳.
This Italian organization also regularly holds mapathons. We will now support them in their project in Kenya. That's why we meet on a Thursday and we also start a little earlier this time so that we can get going together at 18:30. But of course you can always join us later.
So if you want the be a part of the humanitarian mapping, join our next Mapathon on site at the Red Cross in Zurich. Bring along a laptop and a mouse if you have one.
And as always: It is all about learning. So if you know nothing about mapathons or humanitarian mapping or if you have been an OpenStreetMap mapper from the beginning, we need you!
