The Local Competition Event of the Beyond Maps program was successfully completed last Sunday!


36 people came in contact with the Sport of Orienteering!


šŸƒ ā™€ļø What is the sport of Orienteering? Did you know it exists?


Orienteering is an outdoor sport that combines physical exercise, thinking and exploration.


Participants move around a designated area (forest, park or urban environment) with the help of a map and compass, trying to locate checkpoints hidden along the way.


The goal is not just speed, but also the ability to orientate, observation, and teamwork.


It is a sport that combines adventure with strategy, ideal for those who love nature, the city, and "treasure games"!


At this event we got to know orientation through a fun urban game that took place in the center of Athens.


Each team received:


šŸ“„ A special map of the area with target points


šŸŽÆ Goals of the game


šŸ“Locate all checkpoints in the correct order


šŸ“Return to the finish line within the projected time limit


šŸ“Meet new people and develop orientation skills.


Thank you very much for your cooperation with @swentravel
