Hello? My name is Tsenguun. I have an academic background in Environmental Studies and I am currently working for Ger Community Mapping Center, a local grassroots in the capital of Mongolia dedicated to sustainable, equal-access urbanization. For Sustainable Asia Challenge,my team wants to highlight the importance of public spaces.
Re: Ger Community Mapping Center
Welcome to the SDG Asia project, Tsenguun!
Please encourage the rest of your team to post an introduction here.
Also, we'd like to schedule a test of the web conference system with your team this week, is there a day and time that suits you?

Hi Brant,
I have reminded my team members about the introduction. They will soon post here.
As for the conference testing, we can do this Friday 5 pm. Does it work for you?
Thanks,
Tsenguun
Re: Ger Community Mapping Center
Yes, Friday at 5pm is fine by me, if that works for the rest of your group.
Use this link to set up and enter the Adobe Connect web conference room:
Please begin logging in 15 minutes before the agreed time to allow time for your PC or laptop to get set up.
Alternatively, you can download the free Adobe Connect app to use your mobile device to join the meeting.

Additional info:
You can come in as a Guest, and just type in your first name.
While a webcam is a plus for supporting video, your bandwidth may not support it, so that will be part of our test.
To avoid an acoustic echo and improve your ability to hear clearly, I recommend the use of ear bud headphones.
I look forward to meeting you and your team!

Re: Ger Community Mapping Center
Hi Udval,
I reduced your large picture in your post to an image size of 1200 pixels, and JPEG compression down from 2.75 MB to 206K.
This will enable your group thread in this forum to load much more quickly.
I also created a headshot version suitable for your course profile picture (attached).

Re: Ger Community Mapping Center
Dear all,
My name Erdenechimeg (Erka) Altankhuyag. I am the new member of the Value of Public Spaces project by the team from Mongolia. I am very pleased to be part of this project and appreciate the learning and sharing outcomes. I will do my best to catch up witn all previous sessions to actively contribute into the forum sessions. I have master’s degree in International Conflict Studies from University for Peace, Costa Rica and the second master’s in Sustainable Environments and Urban Planning from Bond University, Australia. Our project is trying to raise awareness on public spaces in Ulaanbaatar. I believe sustainable and accessible public urban spaces have great potentials for enhancing quality of life, aesthetics and identity of the people.
