Teacher-to-Teacher
These are innovative, 20-minute sessions offering you a unique opportunity for professional conversation about what you do best. Places will be limited and available on a first come, first served basis.
Workshops
A workshop is a 50-minute session that must be booked in advance (this is to ensure that we avoid crammed rooms and unsatisfactory learning experiences). The workshops include interactions and discussion between participants and the facilitator, practical activities with a resource or stimulus, and a clear sense of purpose and outcomes enabling participants to leave with practical materials for classroom use.
Research Papers
The conference will include, for the first time, a series of sessions focusing on and reporting recent research into geographical education. There will be papers on different types of research, for example action research into teachers' own practice, ethnographic classroom research or research into particular aspects of curriculum or assessment.

Lectures
A lecture will normally include a 40-minute presentation, and 10 minutes for questions. The lectures are all clearly defined by phase and title.
Lecture Plus
These are 25-minute lectures, presented by leading geographers, followed by discussions on classroom implications, applications and possibilities.
Forum
This year the Forum will look at current, and possibly controversial issues. Invited panelists will be asked to talk for no more than 10 minutes on the theme from their point of view and a strong Chair will ensure times are kept to! Discussion will be opened to the floor giving the audience a chance to make short, sharp points or ask questions of the panel. At the end of the discussion period each panelist will be asked to make a one-minute 'round up' comment.
