Curriculum improvement conference for geographers

This meeting is an opportunity for those geography practitioners who have not been successful in gaining a place on the social studies collaboration group to have their say on the future of the geography curriculum. The aim is to gather as many views as possible as we move forward into this work.

The meeting will take place on Thursday 8th May in Agnes Husband House in Dundee from 9.30am until 3.30pm.

Speakers will include Professor Ken Muir, Professor Louise Hayward and our Geographer Royal Professor Jo Sharp. Lunch will be provided.

This online option is for those unable to travel to Dundee. Please indicate your preference during sign up.

This conference is being funded by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and is free to attend.
