Your Help is Needed to Inspire the Next Generation of Geographers
The Royal Scottish Geographical Society (RSGS) has initiated The World at Your Feet project, to paint a 6m x 8m world map onto school playgrounds across Scotland. The aim is to provide an inspirational interactive teaching aid for a wide range of subjects, placing geography at the heart of the curriculum.
“We think this is a fantastic opportunity to help engage children's curiosity and encourage a broader understanding of our world. Now more than ever, we need young people to have a good foundation in broad geographical issues.”
Our own CollinsBartholomew world map data will be used to produce the steel stencils to create the large world map.
The RSGS hope to run a two-year pilot project, working with a few schools in different settings to develop, trial and assess various teaching resources and exercises.
