Geography Awareness Week



Did you know November 17-21 is Geography Awareness Week?

Whether you have kids of your own, or, are just a big kid yourself, promoting geography education is a great way to learn about World Heritage sites, which span the globe and include some of the most unique and important cultural, natural and historical places on earth. Learning more about these sites enables people young and old to appreciate how landscapes are created, the diverse cultures of people living around the globe, and how our actions can impact our environment and fellow global citizens.
To help celebrate this year’s Geography Awareness Week, test your geography knowledge using the Friends of World Heritage TravelPod
The game is a fun, informative, (and addictive) way to test your knowledge and brush up on those lesser-known World Heritage sites. Play now and find out your World Heritage IQ and challenge your friends to beat your score.
