“Mapping With Communities, International Workshop” started in 2023 as a conference workshop at the GIScience 2023 Conference. The goal was to bring together multiple stakeholders as an action led by the IDEAMAPS data ecosystem project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

We aim to discuss the emerging challenges of engaging communities with mapping. Our participants shared experiences of engaging communities and participatory mapping tasks carried out worldwide. Such a diverse scenario would inspire participants, inspire new alliances and enhance GIScience knowledge exchange.
