We are excited to have been approved just now as OpenStreetMap Local Chapter along with OpenStreetMap US. Thank you for the trust and we look forward to mapping more in OSM.

Within the Culture for Change program, FLOSSK has held workshops for scanning and editing Kosovo newspapers from the 90s together with a number of young volunteers and students who have gained knowledge of digital technology as well as gained digital material editing and archiving skills.

During the project, a semi-automatic scanner was built, which facilitated the scanning process and which will be used by readers and researchers even after the completion of the project.

The online platform with prepared publications will be launched on October 1, 2020, and will contain old publications that are accessible through an open model.

This project was made possible by the Culture for Change program. The project is funded by the European Union, managed by the European Union Kosovo, and implemented by Qendra Multimedia and Goethe-Institut.

Building the first air quality and weather station, within the “Sensor Stations” project.

These stations will be built together with students and teachers of six high schools in Prishtina, Vushtrri, Lipjan, Prizren, Suhareka, and Rahovec.

The ”Sensor Stations” project teaches students to build their own hardware, produce and analyze environmental data, and also aims to raise awareness of air quality and climate change, and scale citizen science activities in Kosovo.

This is an EU funded project managed by the European Union Kosovo and implemented by Balkan Green Foundation and Institute for Development Policy (INDEP).
