RSGS Education Conference - Emma Wotherspoon

The RSGS-convened ‘Geography in Scottish education – where do we go from here?’ event was a full-day, fast-paced conference that took place at Dollar Academy on February 25th, 2023. It brought together key individuals and organisations from across the spectrum of the broad education sector, to discuss how to maximise and promote the relevance and uptake of geography. With two ongoing enquiries being led by Scottish Government, and the scrutiny of the OECD review with researchers such as Stirling University's Mark Priestley, this was an opportunity for the community of geography to gather it's thoughts, to challenge itself, but also to build consensus and thereby be better placed to respond and work together towards a shared vision for our subject. The meeting brought together policy experts and practitioners (academics, teachers, and students) and covered a huge amount of ground, including 16 speakers giving short provocations to 50 participants.
