Campaigning for Geography
The Geographical Association believes that geography makes a major contribution to the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of everyone. Therefore, in April 2002, Keith Grimwade (Chair of ESC) launched our new position statement - This is Geography ...
The statement is the result of wide-ranging consultation, which identified a need to communicate the value of geography to people not immersed in the subject. So, in contrast to its predecessor, the new statement relies heavily on striking geographical images to both attract attention and invite discussion. It also lists the key outcomes of geographical education and the GA's credo: the value of geography and its place in the curriculum.
But don't take our word for it, download a copy of our position statement This is geography ... here.

In addition, complementing and supporting the early years position statement, we have produced a colourful and inspirational A1 poster Making sense of the world: geography in the foundation stage, which can be purchased via the GeographyShop. You can also purchase multiple copies of the leaflets via the Shop.
All we ask is that when you’ve read these materials, you don’t put them away in a drawer. Use them, discuss them, pin them up on your notice board, surround them with your own and your students' choice of images!
