✨ Compass Quest kicks off in Riga!

On 19-20 March 2026, partners of the Compass Quest project gathered in Riga, Latvia for our very first international workshop, marking the official start of this exciting journey together.

Hosted at Riga Teika Secondary School, the meeting combined exchange, creativity, and hands-on learning. Over two days, we explored the concept of photo orienteering as an educational tool - from understanding its methodology to testing it in real-life settings.

📍 What we did:
• Learned about the principles behind photo orienteering
• Shared experiences on integrating it into school subjects
• Took part in a practical outdoor orienteering activity
• Co-created and improved game concepts together
• Tested the activities directly with students

🏃‍♂️ About the project
Compass Quest is an Erasmus+ Sport project that uses game-based orienteering and scavenger hunt methods to promote physical activity, inclusion, and active lifestyles among young people. By combining sport with cultural exploration, the project engages high school students in discovering local heritage while developing teamwork, problem-solving skills, and a stronger sense of European identity.

A big thank you to our hosts ( ) and all partners ( , ) for the inspiring collaboration, energy, and openness throughout the workshop 💚

We’re excited for what’s ahead - more learning, more testing, and more impact to come! 🚀
