Geography-related student bodies and initiatives you can also get involved with.
YouthMappers is a global network of university students and faculty who use open mapping tools like OpenStreetMap to create geospatial data that supports humanitarian response, development, and resilience in communities worldwide.
As a UCC chapter, members get hands-on experience in digital mapping, remote sensing, and contribute to real-world mapping projects that support disaster response and community development across Ghana and beyond.
The Geography and Spatial Planning (GASP) association brings together students with an interest in urban and regional planning, land use management, and spatial development across Ghana.
GASP organizes talks, workshops, and site visits focused on planning practice, helping students bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world planning challenges.
The Ocean Initiative Hub focuses on coastal and marine geography — raising awareness about ocean conservation, coastal erosion, and sustainable use of marine resources, especially relevant given UCC's location along Ghana's coast.
Members engage in beach clean-ups, coastal research projects, and advocacy initiatives promoting healthier oceans and coastlines for Cape Coast and beyond.
