Congratulations @ajsecor.bsky.social! A very timely and important piece.
It's arrived! And what a brilliant text. Huge congrats to @cordyf.bsky.social and Sydney Calkin for bringing this together.
Booking is now live for the first Geography Southeast conference! Please do share with any geography teachers who might be interested in a free day of curriculum orientated talks, lectures, and workshops. The programme is looking fantastic: www.geographysouthwest.co.uk/conference/g...
