Geography Awareness Week is celebrated annually from November 17th to November 21st, emphasizing the importance of geographic literacy and understanding the world. This week-long event encourages participants to explore diverse landscapes and cultures, fostering curiosity about the Earth’s beauty and complexity. Activities during this week include educational workshops, community events, and interactive projects such as geo-caching and virtual tours of national parks. Participants can engage in geography trivia nights, create world map art projects, and sample cuisines from different countries, connecting geography with gastronomy.
