On 30-31 May 2026 MUST , CU , MUBAS and UNIMA Youthmappers chapters participated in a COMPREHENSIVE MAPPING AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS WORKSHOP at University of Malawi which was organized by Unima Youthmappers .
The workshop was led by Dr. Brent Mc Custer , Youthmappers Co-Founder and Training Coordinator who is also Professor of Geography from West Virginia University in USA and Davie Nthiya who is associate lecturer at UNIMA and former Youthmappers Regional Ambassador in South East Africa.
''I have learned different skills from practical sessions that challenged us to think. We discussed and learned why participatory Gis is important in field data collection and validation. Dr Brent also shared how best we can use GeoAl in Geographical analysis. l look forward to sharing the knowledge gained with fellow YouthMappers and practice the skills gained in my academic studies. "- Daniel Mwitha (MUST Youthmappers representative and acting president.)
