The North Carolina Geographic Alliance and the South Carolina Geographic Alliance are excited to present the Geography Action! Mapping Europe Toolkit at our second annual Geography Action! Conference to be held on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at UNC-Charlotte in Charlotte, NC. K-12 educators, pre-service teachers, college instructors, media specialists, curriculum coordinators, and the general public are invited to attend the Geography Action! Conference. The conference will include teaching strategies from the toolkit for the elementary, middle, and high school classroom as well as content lessons. The toolkit is designed to help you celebrate geography in your school during Geography Awareness Week (November 15-21, 2009) and throughout the school year. The toolkit includes tips for planning a highly interactive and festive event for students, families, and communities to enjoy. The activities and games in the toolkit are easy, fun, and educational. Students who participate in a Geography Action! Mapping Europe event will come away with a new understanding of how fun maps can be and the diversity of people and landscapes in Europe.
