This event offers educators hands-on experience with some of the lessons in the 'I can see the sea' module and help them build confidence to deliver the content to their classes.
Participants will also have an opportunity to hear from one of the academics from the project, sharing their inspiration behind the study of oceans through aquariums.
This event is for those who teach Geography to 7-13 year-olds and is perfect for gaining practical tools and insights to effectively teach this exciting new topic from the Royal Geographical Society.
