Geography Awareness Week

Geography Awareness Week is an annual event dedicated to increasing understanding of the world's diverse places, cultures, and environments. It promotes education about how geographic factors influence societies and everyday life. Through activities, resources, and programs, it encourages people to explore themes like climate, land use, and global interconnectedness. The goal is to foster appreciation for the Earth's complexity and promote geographic literacy, helping individuals make informed decisions about local and global issues. It typically occurs in November and involves schools, communities, and organizations working together to highlight the importance of geography in understanding our world.
