Another term-time Wednesday means it's time for another Worldly Wednesday.
A quiet(ish) one this week initially, but then it started to fill up with a whole range of events and meetings.

Then it was some reading and a meeting as part of my role as VP Education of the Royal Geographical Society. There are some interesting times ahead following the Interim Report of the CAR (Curriculum and Assessment Review) last week. I started work on a few related documents and thinking.
I also did some work on a BBC project which is just starting.
Mid-afternoon I published the 12th LivingGeography Substack Newlestter. Read it here.
It's a bumper edition.
Just before 6pm I joined the Zoom room ahead of presenting at an RGS Teachmeet on Embedding careers in the geography curriculum. It seemed to go very well from the feedback we received. Thanks to my fellow presenters: Fiona, Alistair, Laura and Kit - and to Alice (and Claire) for hosting. And to those who came along... it was a really good and useful event.
Here is my presentation - minus the words....
