PTI Geography Symposium at the RGS: July 2026

on

News of an exciting joint event that's being organised jointly between the Prince's Teaching Institute, the RGS and the GA.

It's called the PTI Geography Symposium.


It will take place at the RGS on the 9th and 10th of July 2026.

The event's co-chair, the ebullient John Wilkinson - here he is introducing the event in his inimitable style.

It's great to see that my GA Presidential theme of "Everyday Geographies" is front and centre here.

More details:

Our first-ever Geography Symposium is designed to empower and inspire teachers to be advocates for their subject inside and outside of the classroom for a curriculum that is challenging, innovative and enriching for all learners.

Through academic talks, workshops and sharing of best practice, the Symposium will celebrate Geography, enrich and develop your knowledge and love of the subject, and motivate you to consider how to inspire your leaners through engagement, enjoyment and empowerment. 

In celebrating Geography's interdisciplinarity, this event captures how Geography's cross-curricular core can ignite learners’ enthusiasm across a diverse cross-section of subjects at schools and colleges. This Symposium will capture, cultivate and celebrate the zeitgeist.

Themes:
  • Everyday Geographies
  • Supra-curricular concept capture
  • Fieldwork
Confirmed guest speakers include:
  • Dr Olivia Taylor
  • Professor Iain Stewart MBE
  • Dr Jonathan Higham
Many more speakers and details to be announced...

Central London accommodation, meals (including a formal dinner on Thursday 9th July) and course materials are included in the course fee.


£100 discount for RGS members, so it's worth becoming a member just for that... and gain all the other benefits of membership.
