Join us for our Global challenges in a changing world Taster Day event, featuring lectures on geopolitics, glaciers and climate change, Geohumanities and the Aerocene, and climate change.
This Taster Day will feature a video competition for students. The competition requires your team to produce a video on the subject of 'How can geography address a major issue facing society?' Schools can submit a maximum of two teams to the competition. Teams can comprise 2-5 students in year 12, and produce a 5 minute video answering this question. Videos should be uploaded to Vimeo by 12 noon on 28 June 2021, and participants should send a link to Dr Bethan Davies (email
[email protected]). Please only include people in your video with their permission.
