The article examines the development of a community map for the campus of the University of Palermo, carried out by students as part of an educational experiment. Within the framework of community psychology, innovative digital tools (GIS and online mapping) were employed to foster the care of shared spaces. Students developed skills in analysis, collaboration, and active participation. The use of open-access online digital software (Google My Maps and QGIS) made the process engaging, supporting the acquisition of digital competencies and active citizenship. This initiative highlights the potential of digital technologies in practices of caring for shared living spaces, as well as their possible impact on the sense of belonging and civic responsibility within the academic community.
