YouthMappers UTFPR Londrina
About
Our Organization is a member of the YouthMappers Network. To learn about this global university consortium go to their OSM wiki linked here or visit their website at youthmappers.org.
We aim to generate spatial data through collaborative mapping projects, in conjunction with the community, that promote a positive socio-environmental impact in local and remote communities, with themes associated with sustainability at the local, regional, and global levels. This project is linked to the Collaborative Mapping extension course of the Environmental and Sanitary Engineering program at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Brazil. Our chapter began its activities in August 2025.
