Held the third week of November every year since 1987, Geography Awareness Week is a global celebration supported by the National Geographic Society and other organizations.  This year, there is a geography-related theme for each day of the week.

  • Monday—Human Geography/Cultures
  • Tuesday—Physical Geography/Environments
  • Wednesday—Geospatial Technologies and GIS Day
  • Thursday—Global Hotspots
  • Friday—Geography on the Job

Celebrate the importance of geography in our lives and help others experience the power of geography. Observe one or all five days of Geography Awareness Week from November 16–22, 2008.
