Young People's Geographies

"Childhood has always been a disputed territory, its true geography quickly forgotten as we grow older, replaced by an adult-imagined universe." (Libby Brooks, 2006)

On Thursday of this week, a meeting took place at the GA's HQ in Solly Street to celebrate the work that has been done during the 3rd phase of the Young People's Geographies project.

To read more about the early stages of the project, visit my GEOGRAPHY PAGES page. My involvement in the project goes back to November 2006 when we had the first project meeting in Leicester.

The third phase involved teachers from schools in the 2 areas: Sheffield, and the North East.

Thanks to Jane Ferretti and Steve Watts: the link ITE tutors, and particularly to Mary Biddulph (the new editor of 'Teaching Geography') and Roger Firth from the University of Nottingham.

Thanks to all the teachers involved...
More details will emerge over the summer...
