Day 2 of the GTE Conference for 2022 was a long day, with a number of breaks for delegates to step away from the screen. It was held online as I mentioned in the first post.
Some highlights for me from the 2nd day of the event.
- A session on the GI Pedagogy ERASMUS project I have been involved in, presented by Luc Zwartjes and Sophie Wilson.
- Verity Jones on young children's maps made during the pandemic
- Eleanor Rawling talking about her work on the new National Curriculum Framework for School Geography. This is going to be presented at the GA Conference along with Alan Kinder, and will also be an important document when it is published later this year. It will be the result of work by a number of people and Eleanor referenced quite a few of those in her session, which also introduced some useful diagrams showing her thinking. She spent as much time explaining what the document is not as much as what it actually is intended to be. There is more on this on the blog already, and watch out for a preview of Eleanor's GA Conference 2022 page too.
- David Preece gave a personal perspective on CAGs and TAGs
- A nice hyperlocal walk around the fields with people sharing pictures of their route and discoveries
- Alison Brown on changes to British farming
- Susan Pike sharing plenty of work that has been done on the theme of place
- A closing keynote from Nicola Walshe referencing the Eco-Capabilities project.
The GA has a useful book for those who are given a mentoring role.
Congratulations to all those who were involved in organising the event. Elena Lengthorn hosted the day on behalf of the organising committee of Anthony Barlow, Jo Baynham, Alison Brown, Lisa Clarke, Verity Jones, Susan Pike, Kit Rackley, Emma Rawlings Smith, Lizzie Rushton, Shelagh Waddington, Nicola Warren-Lee, Andy Watkins, Sarah Whitehouse, Sophie Wilson and Chris Winter.
I hope that GTE 2023 finally makes its way to Dublin, where it was intended to be in 2021 originally, I think.
