Re-visioning Geography

Abstract

The Erasmus+ KA201 project, “Biographical map library of European authors” (BIO-MAPS) started in December 2020 with the participation of three bilingual secondary schools and three universities from Spain, Portugal, and Hungary, as well as a regional organization (EUROGEO). The project has three main aims: first, the making of an online library of writers and poets from the participating countries, which is written in Spanish and developed with a GIS-based technology freely accessible on the web. Second, an evaluation of the role that Geoinformatics plays in Geography teaching in each participant country. Finally, the mobility of secondary school pupils to test the literary routes designed according to the StoryMaps. In this chapter, authors describe in more detail the research related to the first two aims developed in Hungary, while focusing on their relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015.
