“The schools are closed, but the school is ultimately us”: exploring spatial inventions beyond the boundaries of the school building in pandemic conditions.

This thesis examines the school space in Athens and analyzes its social dimensions during the Covid-19 pandemic in a school attended by students from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. The study employs complex methodological tools, such as participatory observation and focus groups, to document the changes in the school’s daily life and the impact of restrictive measures on the widening of inequalities. The work highlights the role of teachers in defending the lived school space and shaping an inclusive school and social everyday life.
