Misson:Explore is a project to engage (young) people with geography through playful and thought provoking missions. Mission:Explore encourages people to explore new places in alternative ways and to see the world with a different view.
Our GeoVation is Mission:Explore London: an interactive map of location specific geolocated missions that can be navigated on mobile phones Apps. Each mission will be written by geography experts to be (reasonably) safe, fun and involve geography.
Led by The Geography Collective (a national partnership of geography teachers, academics, adventurers and artists), Mission:Explore London will be developed with the support of Sheffield-based interactive agency TheWorkshop and Can of Worms Enterprises, a London-based education and travel publisher.
With the help of GeoVation, Mission:Explore London will enthuse people with geography in a radically new way while tackling some critical issues of our time, not least challenging our increasingly risk averse culture.
Fingers crossed for the final judging day, which will be held at the Royal Geographical Society on the 26th January.
I am speaking at an event in Oxford that evening, so can't be there, but I know we have a strong team to present ideas to the judging panel.
You can book your ticket HERE: always a pleasure to go to the RGS.
