Do you like festivals? Course you do...
Like geography? Of course - love it!
How about a Festival of Geography! Yes please!
The Festival of Geography brings together colleagues from the Royal Geographical Society and Geographical Association (GA) for a joint celebration of geographical knowledge and understanding.
This special event is an opportunity for teachers at all stages to come together and share their passion for geography. Over a full day, attend sessions on creative and practical ideas for the classroom and get subject updates from experts in the field.
The day is bookended with sessions from the GA and RGS-IBG on the future of geography teaching and its value as a subject for students of all ages.
The festival consists of a full day of talks and workshops held live at the RGS-IBG in London on 16 June 2025.

I was part of the Action Plan for Geography team - at a time when we used to work more closely together.
