Furthering the learning and teaching of geography

Building Sustainable Communities - Living Geography

Living Geography is how the GA is working to 'brand' a fresh approach to school geography. It captures geography which:

  • Is current and future oriented
  • Is local but set in wider (global) contexts
  • Investigates change processes
  • Evaluates change

The realities of how we choose to live have formed young people's experience before they start school. As they become more independent in their local community their actions determine these decisions. Learning in geography helps make sense of it all and provides the skills to take an active part. This leads to effective roles in their community, as individuals and through work.
