Beyond maps Local Competition Event by 4C

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

36 people came in contact with the Sport of Orienteering!

🏃 ♀️ 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:

📄 A special map of the area with target points

🎯 Goals of the game

📍Locate all checkpoints in the correct order

📍Return to the finish line within the projected time limit

📍Meet new people and develop orientation skills.

Thank you very much for your cooperation with @swentravel
