From the GA's ANNUAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS 2007-8 which will be arriving in schools shortly.
The theme of LIVING GEOGRAPHY was present across a range of the GA’s activities during 2007-08, including various CPD projects and branch initiatives, and this trend looks set to continue in future years. ‘Living geography’ aims to engage teachers and pupils with the development of innovative and exciting learning, often starting with young people’s perceptions of their own local environment, and emphasising change in response to real problems and issues of regeneration and sustainable development. Living geography is concerned with enabling young people to envision futures and successful living geography projects help to forge new links between teachers and the local authorities, development agencies and such like.
This will be the theme of a range of CONFERENCES.
Speaking of conferences, £1 from every conference delegate at the GA Conference will go to the Katine Project
In October 2007 Guardian News & Media launched a three-year initiative - in partnership with the African Medical & Research Foundation (Amref) and Barclays - to support a community of 25,000 people in the Ugandan sub-county of Katine in overcoming the effects of extreme poverty, civil war and climate change.
The project is funded by donations from Guardian and Observer readers and Barclays, but it is more than just a fundraising push. On the Katine website you can read about how the money is spent, how development works and listen to the people of Katine share their views, watch films about the issues they face and things they do in their daily lives.
The project is focusing on five key areas, education, health, water, governance and livelihoods - find out more about each topic by following the links.
The GA will contribute £1 per paying delegate from the GA Annual Conference and Exhibition towards the project.
