As geography teachers, we often seek ways to make our lessons engaging, relevant, and impactful for our students. Incorporating awareness days related to geography is an excellent way to achieve this. In November, there are three noteworthy days that offer great opportunities for extra-curricular clubs, assemblies, or topical lessons. Let's delve into these and explore how we can make the most of them in our classrooms.
World Tsunami Awareness Day (WTAD) is observed on the 5th of November annually, aiming to raise awareness about reducing tsunami-related risks and enhancing community preparedness. This year's theme, aligned with the International Day of Disaster Reduction, focuses on fighting inequality for a resilient future.
