Preparing for World GIS Day 2026! 🌍

EkporJephtaC

The countdown has begun!
Under the Map the Future Initiative, we are preparing for another inspiring celebration of World GIS Day — November 18th, 2026.

Map the Future is a youth-centered movement introducing secondary school students to the power of GIS, digital mapping, drones, spatial thinking, and real-world problem solving. We believe young people should discover these opportunities by inspiration, not by accident.

This year, we’re planning something even bigger:
📍 More schools
📍 More students
📍 More hands-on experiences
📍 More innovation
📍 More impact

Because when young minds understand maps, data, and technology, they begin to see solutions, possibilities, and a Brighter Tomorrow.

The future is spatial… and we’re taking it straight to the classroom.

This is awesome, @EkporJephtaC! Thank you so much for sharing your GIS Day plans for 2026. It's great to hear this year's event is going to be even bigger than last year's. The brochure you provided is very detailed and I love to hear this will be your 7th GIS Day event! I just know the resources you shared will help first timers get a sense of how to plan and execute a successful GIS Day event 🙂.
