Coffee and Geography: with Alistair Hamill

Alistair Hamill is the latest guest on Kit Marie Rackley's 'Coffee and Geography' podcast.

Watch the session here:

Alistair and Kit Marie talk about the importance of teaching climate change as a safeguarding issue and how Alistair devised a GIS citizen science project for pupils in the Craigavon area to collect and display data on the quality of trees. This project connects students with the local council, giving them a voice in local decisions and fostering a sense of agency and hope. This is not a discussion to be missed!
