DESCRIPTION:As one of the deliverables of the She Leads and She Inspires pr
 oject "Mapping for Cultural Sustainability"\, the organization of a local 
 YouthMappers chapter in UP Mindanao signified the start of youth-led open 
 mapping efforts in the Southeastern part of Mindanao. The university was c
 hosen to host the rise of the first YouthMappers chapter in the Davao regi
 on in part due to the institution's reputation of being a center of develo
 pment and innovation in the region. With its roster of highly capable and 
 enthusiastic undergraduate and graduate students\, the UP Mindanao YouthMa
 ppers* was born. The academic organization\, with the mission of enhancing
  the skills of its members in the field of open mapping and Geographic Inf
 ormation Systems (GIS) or Geospatial Technology\, is now slowly starting t
 o carve its mark in the UP Mindanao community by introducing the value of 
 open mapping through trainings and mapathons and opening doors for researc
 h collaborations through GIS workshops and consultations.\n\nThis talk wil
 l focus on introducing the UP Mindanao YouthMappers to the open mapping co
 mmunity of the Philippines as well as share its journey\, the activities t
 hat have been conducted by its founding members and the organization's pla
 ns for the near future. This talk will also hopefully open opportunities f
 or collaboration with other YouthMappers chapters and different OSM commun
 ities in the Philippines.\n\nDisclaimer: Although the organization has alr
 eady been acknowledged and recognized by the UP Mindanao Office of Student
  Affairs\, as of October 15\, 2023\, it is still waiting for the official 
 recognition from the YouthMappers network. Application and submission of c
 omplete requirements had already been processed in the month of September.
