Hi

Thanks Helmi for sharing this with us and thank you Houcem for suggesting I apply for the grant.

Honeslty, I have no idea on how OSM works. I am not even a member of the community so not sure if I can apply. 

I would love to get the grant to add geolocalisations of the monuments, but for sure I don't know how to do it or train people to do so.

I can take care of organizing the workshops (logistics), but not more. If you can apply for the grant Houcem, I would love to work on that with you.

And a question: Can we use the money to make the QRpedia plaques?

Have a nice day all,

Houssem

Dear Mr.,
I thank you for your answer. This will be interesting for MedinaPedia. This grant can be used for full mapping of the Medina of Sfax and of the Medina of Tunis. I ask if Mr. Houssem Abida, Coordinator of MedinaPedia Sfax, can have the time to apply for the grant.
Yours Sincerely,

Hi Everyone,


HOT is excited to announce the launch of the 2019 HOT Microgrants program! This year, we will be awarding Microgrants between $2,000-$5,000 for 8-10 communities throughout the world to reduce barriers and scale their mapping activities and impact. Applications for the 2019 Microgrants program are due by February 28 at 12midnight EST and can be found using this link.  


We especially encourage communities from the Caribbean, Middle East, North Africa, and Asia to apply, as well as those communities looking to diversify their mappers (gender balance, age, socioeconomic status, etc.), in order to continue expanding the global mapping community. Before submitting your application, ensure that you coordinate with other mapping communities in your country/region, finding opportunities for collaboration where possible and minimizing the number of applications that propose the same mapping project. For more information about the HOT Microgrants program and to see the application review criteria, please check the HOT blog.


Please forward this information along to any other individuals and communities you believe would make excellent candidates for this opportunity. Any questions can be sent to microgrants@hotosm.org or directly to me at this email address. Please allow 24-48 hours for a member of our team to reply.



Best,


Jessica
