Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

In this workshop you will learn the basics of QGIS and create your first map. This is a very useful skill even in the time of dynamic web-maps. You get to decide which information to show and what to highlight. The data for the map will come from free sources and maybe even a Wikidata query. It will also be explained how to convert it to SVG and upload it to Commons.

What will attendees take away from this session?

Attendees will have a basic understanding of using a GIS program, how to start a mapping project and how and where to find help.
