Welcome to Geography Awareness Week 2025! This is a week to celebrate and raise awareness of geography, both as a discipline and as a part of daily life. This year’s theme is “Making Spaces of Possibility.”
Geography is the study of space and place on the Earth. Space refers to the geometric [physical location] surface of the Earth. Place is an area of space that is viewed as significant, therefore transformed by naming (or claiming) and filling of the area [given cultural identity]. Places can change, or transform, over time.
