Primary history and geography forum: climate education

Join the Historical Association and the Society at this special online twilight forum event specifically for primary teachers of history and geography.

The theme this time will be climate education and how primary teachers can develop this through their history and geography lessons.

With a keynote speaker and workshop sessions from Ailsa Fidler and Emma Espley, plus an opportunity to network and share ideas, this event will support primary teachers to better understand how history and geography can feed into the responsibility of every curriculum subject to educate our young people about the climate crisis and sustainable futures.
