🌎Geography Awareness Week🌎

“Geography is the tapestry that weaves the world together.” ~ Gil Grosvenor.

Studying geography helps to build connections between society and our physical environment. Comment how you think geography helps bring the world together.

🌎Geography Awareness Week🌎

Our planet is home to many magnificent places, and there is still so much left to be discovered and explored.
Stay tuned to learn more geography knowledge this week!

🌎Geography Awareness Week🌎

“The study of geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it’s about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together.” ~ President Barack Obama, 2012 National Geographic Bee

🌎Geography Awareness Week🌎
This map shows the top 25 countries where our ALVS students live and learn virtually daily!

Every year, this public awareness program encourages global citizens to think and learn about the importance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.

Stay tuned this week for more geography facts, quotes, and information!
