Story Maps: Essential Skill for the GIS Day

As we celebrate the GIS Day on 17th November 2021, IBD encourages all youth to acquire basic GIS skills. Story maps are a great way to start transforming the art of storytelling with location-based precision and achieving a compelling shared meaning.

At Taita Taveta University, this will be the 7th GIS Day celebration since the IBD Founder started raising GIS awareness at the institution in 2015.
