GIS Day 2016

GI Learner project - startup...

For the next 3 years, King's Ely Geographers are going to be involved in a project with a number of EU partners (schools, universities and other partners) called GI-LEARNER. I am co-ordinating the involvement of the school.

I've mentioned the project previously, but am currently in Bruges for the start-up meeting, where we have been discussing the practicalities of setting up the various events, activities, research and resource creation that is going to occupy us for the next few years, along with around 100 students of ages from 7-13.

I shall be recruiting 12 King's Ely students from Year 7, and 12 from Year 10 - get in touch if you would like to be involved in the potential of working with schools in a number of locations, and sharing our work in Madrid in 3 years time.
