Sustainability - teaching geography in a changed world

Thanks to the GA for sharing a link to a webinar which explored how to teach about the major issues facing the world through the lens of sustainability.

It was organised by the Oxford Education Deanery and shared on their website.

Description of the event:

This is an important time to be a geography teacher. 

Climate breakdown and biodiversity collapse are the biggest issues of our time, and ones that today’s young people are going to face throughout their lives. Education, wide and fast, is necessary if humans are going to turn the situation around in the coming decade, to enable human survival into the 22nd century. Today’s teenagers are going to be entering the workplace and taking the reins through the biggest changes human civilisation has seen. Will they be ready? And what can today’s geography teachers, with powerful opportunities with the existing curriculum, do to prepare them? 

Join Oxford University academics, and school geography teachers, in a vital discussion about our role in safeguarding our young people, and the world they depend on.

A good varied range of speakers.
