Going Green for National Fieldwork Week

The GA's traditional blue and white logo has been replaced temporarily to mark our extra effort as part of my Presidential year: National Fieldwork Week. 

Lots more to come on this in the next month as we get closer to the date. We already have a website up with plenty of ideas, and I shall be sharing some more here as well on LivingGeography of course. 

Watch out for a series of posts providing some ideas.

Fieldwork is an essential part of a geographical education as well as being a National Curriculum, GCSE and A level requirement. It enables young people to develop their subject knowledge, gain a range of skills that are difficult to develop in the classroom and helps them to understand the ‘messiness’ of geographical reality.

As we all know, organising fieldwork has been a great challenge over the past two years and many learners have not had the chance to experience working out of doors for some time.

National Fieldwork Week is designed to provide a focal point to encourage you to take your classes outside, whether in the school grounds, the local area or further afield.

A simple, common theme of ‘Change’ has been chosen as this allows flexibility in deciding what to investigate to best advantage.
