National Festival of Fieldwork
Fieldwork is an essential part of a geographical education as well as being a National Curriculum, GCSE, A Level and IB 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 few years and many learners have not had the chance to experience working out of doors for some time.
The National Festival of Fieldwork 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.
This will be an opportunity to take our classes out to investigate, observe, discover, challenge, test out ideas and gain a deeper and wider understanding of the world around them.
Remember, if you are busy during the National Festival of Fieldwork you can always choose your own date. The important thing is to go out and do some fieldwork!
