This project is about collaborating to create interactive maps, using Thinglink or Google maps. Each month a base map will be provided and each participating school will upload their info (text, image, video etc) on this map.
There will be different themes, for example, topography, climate, water resources, pollution, vegetation, flora/fauna, culture, monuments, history etc.
It is essential that there are many schools in this project, so that a wide area of Europe would be covered.
