Hello, PoliMappers friends!

December is here and that means... a brand new edition of PoliMappers Adventures, our special advent calendar in which you will discover something interesting about #OpenStreetMap!

This year, we decided to slightly modify the challenge, so here are the new rules:
- The Adventures will be divided into 4 weeks according to a different theme;
- During each week, we will publish some quests related to that theme;
- Complete the weekly tasks whenever you want, but before the week ends;
- Save your changesets and post your work on social media using #PoliMappersAdventures;
- At the end of each week, those who have completed all the quests will receive a special digital badge!

Follow our social media channels to discover the tasks!
Happy mapping with PoliMappers Adventures!
