The 2^nd Panhellenic School Map Competition entitled “Mapping Accessibility. Can my schoolmate in a wheelchair come to school?” was organized during the 2022-2023 school year, after an approval from the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. 

The Competition aimed at raising students’ awareness and familiarizing them with accessibility issues of people with mobility disabilities, through geospatial data collection and digital map making.

Under the guidance of their educators, students:

• walked the route to their school
• traced accessible spots and obstacles for wheelchair users
• captured these points using a special spatial data collection app for smartphones
• recorded these spots on digital maps and synthesized their findings into a storymap.

Schools also designed and implemented experiential activities of inclusivity and awareness, in collaboration with people with mobility disabilities, thus motivating not only school community but also local societies as a whole.

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

Participants: Teachers and students from the 5^th and 6^th grade of Primary schools and all grades of Secondary and High schools in Greece and abroad.
