This year, with the world reopening to use, the theme is 'Where, how and why?'
Details below - full details on the RGS website.
Throughout the pandemic our ability to travel near or afar has been severely limited.
This year, to encourage young people to widen their geographical horizons, whether locally or much further afield, the Society is asking pupil where, how and why.
Where?
Where might you want to travel to? We’d like you to give a geographical overview of the place you’d like to visit. It doesn’t matter if the place is local to you or much further afield, we’d like you to give its geographical overview and share your understanding of its key physical and human features.
How?
How would you get there and what reasons might you give for the type/s of transport you might use? Is the place a short walk away or somewhere that would require transport to take you beyond the UK?
Why?
What makes this place geographically interesting, important or meaningful to you?
We'll make use of this in the summer term as always.
