Urban Geography Fieldwork

The day of the Olympics opening was also the date when a new website was launched offering opportunities for fieldwork in the East end of London, associated with the Olympics Park and the associated regeneration....
A number of familiar names offer a range of options for visiting teachers and students, and at reasonable prices too...
Having accompanied John Widdowson with a full day visit by a school group a few months before the start of the games, I can vouch for the quality of the experience, and the associated materials. The teachers I accompanied felt that this would give their students an advantage when it came to the GCSE examination, as they had had personal experience of key locations.

There are plenty of important themes covered in GCSE Specifications which are covered by a day in the East End of London...
These would include sustainability, urban change and regeneration, tourism, environmental change, urbanisation and inequality.

Visit the website HERE for more details on how to book a session.
