The 3rd Panhellenic School Map Competition “Watery Routes: Mapping the Value of Water”  was implemented during 2024-2025, focusing on water as a precious natural resource and a foundation for human progress and civilization. 

The Competition aimed at raising awareness within the school community about the vital importance of water, using new technologies and digital tools. 

Under the guidance of their educators, students were asked to explore a topic related to water (ex. biodiversity, water supply, natural disasters, pollution, maritime professions, traditional island settlements, folk culture).

After being trained by Spotin in the use of digital tools/software – provided to the schools free of charge upon request – they creatively presented their findings in a digital story in the form of a geo-narrative (storymap).

At the same time, they carried out awareness-raising activities inspired and designed by the schools themselves: questionnaires, audiovisual material from interviews, field visits, literature references to the theme of water, songs, drawings, digital games, even letters with proposals that they sent or delivered to the local municipal authorities.

The winning schools received fully upgraded, refurbished computers, kindly sponsored by the Social Enterprise KOINSEP Epanekinisis.

Commemorative notebooks were given to all participants, generously sponsored by EYDAP.

Participants: teachers and students from the 5th and 6th grades of Primary schools, Secondary and High schools of General and Special Education in Greece and abroad
