Geography education: putting the enjoyment back while making a difference

Friday April 10, 2026 16:30 - 17:20 BST

T205

This session will show colleagues how small adjustments to lessons can increase engagement and really emphasise how geography makes a difference. Areas included will be the use of PowerPoints animations, kinaesthetic coasts and maps, using games in the classroom and the use of role play. It will be based on academic principles around using fun and engagement in education, such as those proposed by Gabriella Tisza and Rex Walford.
