Africa in 3D
Our theme this year, Africa in 3D: Demographic Diversity Discovery, introduces Florida students to some of the most exciting places in the world! The goal is to heighten awareness of the similarities and differences between Africa and our home state of Florida. The exercises on this website require you to use maps and other sources to learn more about Africa and to apply that knowledge to events unfolding today.
The history and culture of Africa is rich within our state, so we felt it was only appropriate to feature high-tech tools that connect our two continents instantaneously as part of this year’s program. We hope that students who participate in Geography Action! Africa: Demographic Diversity will come away with a new understanding of how fun maps can be and the diversity of the peoples and landscapes in the Africa.
