Living Geography with the GA

In January 2009, the GA will launch a series of Regional Conferences for secondary teachers. These Conferences will build upon the effective practice developed during the Action Plan for Geography.

Aimed at KS3-4 and focusing on Living Geography, these full day events will take place in:

Central London - Tuesday 27 January 2009
York - Tuesday 9 June 2009
Cardiff - Tuesday 29 September 2009
North Wales - Tuesday 13 October 2009
Belfast - Tuesday 3 November 2009

The programme of Conferences is being developed in response to comments from past course delegates requesting further targeted CPD for geography teachers. Living Geography is a concept which relates to all curriculum frameworks, whether in Ireland, Wales, or England, and therefore has been chosen as the focus for these events.

  • Deepen your understanding of current developments in school geography
  • Take away a range of practical ideas to implement in your classroom
  • Become part of an active network that shares your values and commitment to geography in school

In addition to the Regional Conferences we are running a Primary Conference in conjunction with the Historical Association in November 2008, and further primary events are planned for 2009 - watch this space!

Further details and online booking for all of the above events will be available soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, contact the GA's Events Co-ordinator Lucy Oxley (loxley@geography.org.uk).
