The From the Field project has been developed by the RGS-IBG in association with the Goldmith's Company.
They are working with geography researchers and educators to translate the research that is going on in locations across the world that is being done by PhD researchers and other academics in the field, so that it can be used in KS4 and 5 classrooms. The other aim of the project is to inspire young people to consider doing geographical research as a way of seeing the world.
Materials are starting to become available for a range of projects. One that will be familiar to those colleagues who used the BBC's Human Planet has a focus on the ice river of Chadar in Zanskar.
It explores Extreme Tourism, and has been developed for KS4 students. It is a rather splendid resource and well worth checking out.
The next one to mention I'm pleased to say was a resource that I was involved in producing.
This was in association with Ralitsa Hiteva, a PhD researcher from Manchester University.
She has been exploring Energy Security and has visited Bulgaria and a range of other locations during her work.
These have been developed into a resource for Key Stage 5 pupils - check them out....
Watch out for the second of the two resources that I have contributed to this project, which will be appearing in the next couple of weeks.
I worked with researcher Rose Wilcox from the University of Hull who was exploring moorland regeneration in the Peak District National Park.
I am grateful to Steve Brace for his support in offering me these projects back in the summer.
