THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF CRISIS MAPPERS
Join online dialogue on Geo-Mapping for Human Rights
Announcement from Kristin Antin, New Tactics in Human Rights:
Join an on-line dialogue on ‘Geo-Mapping for Human Rights’
October 28 – November 3, 2009
New Tactics is pleased to feature 'Geo-Mapping for Human Rights,’ as the topic of our October featured online dialogue. Join New Tactics, our co-moderator, Christian Kreutz, and our featured resource practitioners from October 28 – November 3, 2009 in a conversation about the ways in which geographical mapping has been used to share critical information, promote transparency and engage communities.
With the growing use of satellite imagery and easy-to-use technology, geographical maps are being used more often by human rights organizations. These maps can help an organization map crises, places of heritage, visualize data, monitor the impact of conflict, uncover critical evidence, and more! The goal of this dialogue will be to take the stories shared by practitioners with experience using these tools and tactics and draw out lessons to enable other organizations to strategically apply these resources.
Our featured resource practitioners include:
Lars Bromley, director of the Geospatial Technologies and Human Rights program at the AAAS, United States
Patrick Meier, of Ushahidi, United States
Jason Guberman-Pfeffer, founder of the Diarna Project, United States
Michael Graham, of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the World Is Witness project, United States
Sandra Sudhoff, Calum Davey, Yann Rebois and Bernard Wright of CartONG, France
Gillo Cutrupi, GreenPeace Community Manager, Italy
