Abstract
The educational program “Researching and discovering the 1821 Revolution through maps” presents, with the help of old and new maps, important events related to the awakening of the Greek nation, the proclamation of the revolution, the struggle and the first years of independence. Cartographic material is used to approach and highlight, among others: the geographical landmarks of the struggle, operations, important battles and naval battles, tragic events, the political organisation, the established order, international reactions, the first borders of the Greek state. With the help of maps, the revolution is connected to places, the importance of the geographical features is highlighted and the historical information is connected with the geographical ones. Through visualisation with the help of maps and connections to places, participants can explore and approach events and concepts related to the 1821 Revolution. The programme contains worksheets, activities and a map-making workshop that, depending on age, uses paper and pencils or online tools.
