    The YouthMappers Regional Validation Hub Formulation aims to establish a centralized hub for validating mapping data generated by YouthMappers chapters in the region. This is to ensure the accuracy and quality of the mapping outputs before they are endorsed to the YouthMappers Global Validation Hub. The Regional Validation Hub Formulation emphasizes the importance of maintaining data integrity and quality within the YouthMappers network. By establishing a regional hub, YouthMappers in Asia can benefit from a centralized platform for validation, ensuring that their mapping efforts contribute to reliable and impactful geospatial data. The purpose of this workshop is to teach the validation tools of JOSM to the prospective validators in Asia-Pacific. The workshop will cover the following topics: configuring JOSM, fixing common errors and warnings, and getting feedback on proper validation techniques.
