GIS day
GIS Day is playing a powerful role in creating geographic awareness everywhere in the world. More than 80 countries are participating in holding local events such as corporate open houses, hands-on workshops, community expos, school assemblies, and more. Since 1999 GIS Day has been celebrated in Estonia. There are many interesting events organized on the day: conference, teachers computer lab with GIS courses, exhibition of companies and GIS related institutions, map contest, sightseeings to exhibitions by National Library of Estonia etc. This year I made presentation on the conference on topic "Mapping and modelling wetlands with GIS"
GIS Day is a good opportunity to show the usability and usefulness of GIS science to the public and especially to high school students and teachers.
