Launched in 1987 by presidential proclamation, Geography Awareness Week is an annual opportunity for families and schools to engage in fun, educational experiences that draw attention to geo-literacy and the importance of geographic understanding.

 

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

Geography Awareness Week is right around the corner (Nov. 18-22)!  The Theme is GEOGRAPHY AND THE NEW AGE OF EXPLORATION.  Here are some resources that we are using in Rhode Island.  What is your local Geographic Alliance doing?  If you don’t know, now is a great time to join.
