@raquel_ivides_org thanks for your support in this initiative.
We need in the OSM environnement to more provide more than training to to keep volunteers, contributors engage. We need to provide or proposé a real pathway to develop theirs CV . If internship in Organization is something complicated we could explore Externship concept to build and and to keep student, young professionals engaged in the crowdsourcing, in Openstreetmap.
Thank you again for your thrust 🙏
