Doing it together is what makes a republic
Through regular publications, a podcast and one major annual day - Map Day - we make visible the essential role of cartography as a power to understand, decide and act together on the future of the places we live in.
Revealing the power of maps as a lever for democracy, so that everyone can take hold of them, see the world differently, spark debate and help decide the future of the places we live in.
Finding your way, telling a story, managing a forest, defending a right, imagining a territory: topographic, statistical, historical, subjective or artistic maps - celebrating that richness.
Inventing the forms of writing we still lack to make this century's great questions legible: counter-cartographies, participatory maps made with residents.
Reducing our dependence on Big Tech, which imposes a commercial and uniform vision of the world - through geographic commons and European alternatives.
From children to decision-makers, widening the coalition to go from 115 to 1,000 events at Map Day 2027, compared with the first edition.
Through our 5 levers of action, we create spaces to meet, to learn and to make maps, all across France.
